Jordan

Most visitors to Jordan arrive at Queen Alia International Airport, south of Amman, while King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba serves the Red Sea coast and is the closest airport to Wadi Rum. A Queen Alia Airport transfer takes you into Amman or straight to the hotels on the Dead Sea, and an Aqaba Airport transfer brings you to the beach resorts or onwards to Wadi Rum and Petra. Book your private transfer on Tranigo: compare vehicles and local providers, and pay the price you see when you book.

Petra, the rose-red Nabataean city reached through the narrow Siq, is the highlight of most trips, and many visitors combine it with a jeep tour or a night under the stars in the desert of Wadi Rum. From Amman, classic day trips lead to the Roman city of Jerash, to the Dead Sea for a float in the salty water, and to the mosaics of Madaba and Mount Nebo, while in Aqaba boat trips and snorkelling on the Red Sea are the main draw.

Jordan's ancient sites are large and full of detail, so a local guide pays off – on the trails of Petra up to the Monastery, among the colonnades of Jerash or on the Citadel hill above downtown Amman. Use the Guides tab in the search above to look for a private guide, or write to us on WhatsApp.
