Why Your Choice of Transport from Wadi Rum to Petra Matters
The 110-kilometer route through southern Jordan’s dramatic terrain is an opportunity, not an obstacle. A generic transfer leaves you with just a destination. A journey with WePetra grants you context, comfort, and hidden gems.
- Maximize Your Time: Efficient routing and pre-planned schedules ensure you spend less time navigating and more time exploring Petra’s vast ruins.
- Unlock Local Insights: Your driver is a certified local guide. Learn about Bedouin culture, geology, and history you’d miss otherwise.
- Travel in Comfort and Safety: After a night in a desert camp, deserve a modern, air-conditioned vehicle with a professional, safe driver on well-known roads.
- Flexibility is Key: Fancy a photo stop at a breathtaking canyon vista? Want to grab a coffee at a local village? With a private tour, the itinerary adapts to you.
Your Premier Travel Options: Wadi Rum to Petra Tours
We offer tailored solutions to fit every itinerary and style, ensuring your travel is as exceptional as the destinations themselves.
Option 1: The Private Direct Transfer
Ideal for travelers with pre-booked Petra hotels or tight schedules. This efficient service gets you from your Wadi Rum camp to the Petra Visitor’s Center directly, with comfort and punctuality as our priorities. You’ll travel in a private, air-conditioned sedan or SUV with complimentary bottled water and Wi-Fi.
Option 2: The Scenic Private Tour
This is our most popular choice for those seeking depth. We turn the drive into a half-day tour, incorporating stunning stops along the ancient King’s Highway and at viewpoints overlooking the Great Rift Valley. It’s the perfect way to gradually transition from the desert’s silence to the anticipation of Petra.
Option 3: The Custom Adventure Journey
For the truly adventurous, extend your journey with add-ons. Include a visit to the stunning Shobak Castle (Montreal Crusader Castle), stop for a traditional lunch with a local family, or arrange a specific hiking drop-off point. This is your trip, designed your way.
