A compact private tour from Amman that stitches together Petra’s carved canyons, Wadi Rum’s desert panoramas and a buoyant float in the Dead Sea—three distinct landscapes in three days.

The morning begins in Amman with a driver who steers you south as the city thins and the hills flatten into ochre and ochre-red. By late afternoon the carved façade of the Treasury in Petra appears through the narrow Siq like something the rock decided to reveal only to those who walk for it. You move at the pace of the place: slow enough to read the ancient Nabatean carvings, quick enough to catch the last lean sun pouring into the canyon.

Reserve your spot on the 3 Days Petra Wadi Rum and Dead Sea Private Guided Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Start early in Petra
Arrive at Petra first light to avoid crowds and heat—the Siq and Treasury are far more atmospheric at sunrise.
Bring sturdy footwear
Petra’s uneven stone, stair sections and occasional scree require shoes with good grip and ankle support.
Hydrate in the desert
Carry at least 2–3 liters per person for Wadi Rum and Petra days; camps provide bottled water but daylight is dry and demanding.
Protect your skin at the Dead Sea
The high UV and reflective salt surface intensify sun exposure—apply reef-safe SPF before entering the water and avoid shaving within 24 hours.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Good grip and ankle support for Petra’s stone steps and uneven trails.
Sun protection (hat + SPF)
Desert sun is intense; protect skin and eyes during daytime excursions.
