About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 380muralidharanr0 contributionsTwo nights stay in JordanAmazing experience and the arrangements made by ZTT has been very good and a very good driver along with the vehicle. From picking up at the airport and drop the experience was fabulous. In one and half day, they have given me an excellent schedule to cover Amman downtown, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea, mount Nibo and Madaba church. I would like to thank the management of ZTT for Providing excellent service to their customers and good luck. Muralidharan Ramu, Group Director Finance, DP World, DubaiWritten 13 January 2025
- Vivianapm0 contributionsFalling in love with Jordan thanks to Junior!Our Tour Guide, Junior, was outstanding. He was welcoming and made us fall in love with Jordan. Already thinking of coming back and see more. With him as tour guide and Sammy as driver. What a great experience. Thank you!Written 11 January 2025
- Juanon700 contributionsJust OKGot the 4* package with an upgrade at 1 hotel in Wadi Rum. The first hotel in Petra was an extremely basic 3*, so not a great start. Also, given the starting time (pick up in Amman at 9:00), we had very limited time to visit Petra and the guide that was included just stayed with us 3 hours, while the visit is supposed to last 4 to 5 hours. The Wadi Rum part went very well. Aqaba was included in the pack but wasn't worth it, as its not the right time of the year to go, it was too cold; we would have appreciated some comment/advice from the agency in this regard, to maybe replace it with a visit to Madaba. Dead Sea was good. The driver (Sami) that was with us during the complete trip was excellent.Written 5 January 2025

Our guide Hassan gave us nice tour through old and modern parts of the city. We found out so many fascinating things about Jordan, Amman and its people that we decided to come back again to stay longer. Mr Hassan made us fall in love with Jordan. Best time in a good company.

- raymC4622XR0 contributionsSuperb day with a superb guideBasel was my tour guide for my day tour of Mt. Nebo, Madaba and Jerash. He was punctual, he speaks excellent English, is very amiable and friendly, and very knowledgeable. Not only did he tell me about the historic sites we were visiting, but he also answered all my questions about Jordanian customs, culture, history, politics, religion, national exports, education in Jordan etc. Additionally, I had accidentally left my Jordan pass back at the hotel, and he went out of his way to try and accommodate my mistake by asking locals if we could email my pdf to their computer so we could print it out again. We were unable to do this despite several attempts, but the lengths he went to to try and fix MY problem were truly commendable, and way beyond the call of duty. I had a fantastic experience visiting these wonderful historic sites, and I HIGHLY recommend Basel to anyone wishing to do any tours of Jordan. Thanks Basel for a wonderful day, and for the truly fond memories of Jordanian hospitality you extended towards me.Written 20 November 2024

It was quite an expensive experience, but the whole pack it's worth. I felt save and everything really professional. From the driver, Aiman. Really nice, very in time por my pick up, good chat during the 3h drive to Petra and very communicative.
Petra is worth to go, the restaurant inside it wasn't great to be fair, open buffet, but in this cultural journey the food was like a hotel food... It was cheaper and better have some snack or traditional food in some of the tents around Petra.
Btw, that was a day tour and it was short... hightly recommend to do two days tour if you have the time.
Thanks for the experience!

What a fascinating place to visit. Hassan was our guide for the second day in a row and he took great care of us. We arrived at Petra at 10 am (~3 hours from Amman with stops for coffee and breakfast) and spent 4.5 hours within Petra with our local expert guide Ahmed. We learned so much about the Nabatean culture and history and we’re amazed by it all. We were very fortunate with the weather and the crowds were lighter than normal allowing for some amazing pictures along the way. We were asked many times to ride horses, donkeys and camels but a simple “no, shouk ran” or no, thank you was sufficient and we did not feel pestered at all (contrary to what we heard before we arrived in Jordan). We highly recommend this tour and next time, we’ll do it for multiple days and make time for the long climb to the monastery. Btw- much easier is a walk up to the Royal Tombs and you will be glad that you did.

We booked a day trip to Petra from Amman. We were lucky to have Khaled as our driver. He picked us up from our Airbnb, which was located in a complicated area. He waited 30mins for us until we finally found each other and still made sure our trip was complete despite the late start. He gave us plenty of information about the area and surrounding countries during our drive, and was such a pleasure to hang out with. We even got to try a traditional Jordanian meal at a restaurant recommended by Khaled which made our trip even better!
He made sure our tour guide knew when and where we needed to meet him after the tour and took care of us the whole time.
Our trip wouldn’t have been the same without him. Thank you Khaled!

Firstly, our driver and guide were simply incredible. Firas (our driver) was kind, knowledgeable, funny and engaging the entire way there and back. Upon arrival to Petra, he managed the process of acquiring our tickets and introducing us to our guide, Mariam.
Marium was probably the best guide our family has ever had in our travels. The vast majority of guides in this part of the world are men, so my girls loved that we were able to get such an incredible woman. Mariam was a teacher in her prior career and it showed in her current one. She was great with my two girls and family overall and had the perfect amount of information to share along our journey through Petra. The sites and history of this magical place were beyond beautiful and mesmerizing. Additionally, but not to be overlooked, Mariam was a great photographer. She was very creative for all videos and photos.
The volume of tourists on our trip was well below the norm given the current conflicts in adjacent countries, but we felt more than safe the entire time. Overall, I highly recommend this tour and our guides.

Starting the day with our driver Hassan who is a gem. He handed us over to our guide Mahmoud in Petra who also was just brilliant. Leading us through the siq while pointing out and explaining every detail not only of what we saw but also about the daily life there as he lived in one of the caves there growing up. It was truly an amazing experience. Mahmoud then handed us over to his brother Achmed who took us on a fantastic donkey ride up to the monastery and back which was an adventure in itself. So glad we didn’t miss that. He then took us back to Hassan who drove us over to Little Petra which also was great. Not as spectacular as Petra itself but well worth seeing. So a totally fantastic day thanks to the magnificent trio of people that really made this a day to remember.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime that we will cherish in a fun and friendly country. Petra is much bigger than I expected with so much to see and I am glad we enjoyed hiking because we got our exercise! The only way to improve this tour is to spend more days at Petra.
This was our third day with tour guide Amer who quickly learned our preferences. We opted to skip Little Petra but chose to visit Montreal castle. We enjoyed hiking around Petra and had a helpful local guide that Amer selected. Our local guide and Amer gave us advice on how to manage our time. Since we brought snacks, we chose not to eat in Petra but try Mansaf lamb on the way back to Amman. Amer helpfully called ahead to make sure the restaurant would have Mansaf at our estimated arrival time.
We are so grateful to Amer, our local guide, and Zaid tours for creating such a memorable day!

What is the best time of the year to visit Petra as to temperature?
I am an older person with day knees. I can't do any climbing or steep grade walking.
What is your suggestion? I would like a full day tour. Are there any other sights you would recommend?
Advise itinerary, times and pricing. Thank you.

Hi there, I'm visiting next week, the temperature is roughly 25-30 degrees. When I researched its best to avoid the summer months (June, July & August) as it's super hot! Otherwise than that visit anytime around the year!
