Petra/ Wadi Rum - We booked this experience and it was all worth it. Our driver Safwat checked in with us the day before and was timely for our pick up. Yes the drive to Petra is 3 hours long but Safwat had the car very clean and ready with water, juice, phone charger and even internet in the car! Petra was exceptional. You will definitely feel the WOW factor when you meet face to face with The Treasury. We had just the right amount of time to do and see everything we wanted to accomplish. Our trip to Wadi Rum was also well coordinated and perfectly time with the sunset at the end. Over all great experience. Never did we feel pressure to buy or give tips. Always felt safe. 100% recommend. Thanks Safwat!

Excellent day to Petra - Zeyad our driver arrived a few minutes early and informed us of his arrival. Excellent driver he made the trip to Petra effortless. Zeyad would call out some fun facts as we went along. Water and tissues were available in the car. This is the second time I used Akamal To go to Petra and woujd recommend them. I contacted them in advance and they also did my airport to hotel transfer at a very reasonable price. Driver was at the airport with a sign even though we landed 50 mins early

Amazing experience, just do it! - Amazing experience, the driver was fantastic and full of information along the journey. The tour guide at Petra was so informative and steered me to areas of interest that were off the beaten track, he also let me take my time for photos etc so I never felt rushed. The Wadi Rum experience was a lot of fun, my tour guide was very young but full of life, he obvioulsy enjoyed his job and it really rounded out the day perfectly. I would definitely recommend doing this if you have the opportunity.

Wonders of Jordan - Petra blew our minds. This is not just a one-sight wonder, but an entire ancient city. We couldn’t see everything in the time we had, and look forward to returning one day. Wadi Rum is like another planet. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience with Zeyad - Zeyad was an EXCELLENT driver. He speaks English well. Over the course of two days, we had very enjoyable conversations about Jordanian history and culture, as well as about our own lives and families. He’s very witty, too! Zeyad also introduced me to two outstanding guides in Wadi Rum and Petra.

An action-packed yet comfortable day trip. Loved it! - It was a perfect day trip filled with adventure and amazing sights. Yahia was an amazing driver, who also helped me with making sure I got the most out of my day. I did both Wadi Rum and Petra in one day. It’s a long day, I had an amazing time but I feel like you should do an overnight at Petra and an overnight at Wadi Rum to fully experience it. But I had limited time so I was able to do a lot in one day. The jeep ride at Wadi Rum was so much fun, so be sure to do it! He also does a great job to inform you on how to maximize your day, what scams to avoid, and how to fully enjoy yourself. Yahia made sure I had the best experience, and I will absolutely recommend him to my friends and family who visit.

Petra and Wadi Rum - Our journey to Petra and Wadi Rum was marvelous and a jaw-dropping with picturesque view of rock architecture. With the aid of our guide - sir SAFWAT, he made everything in perfect. He is very amiable and well knowledgeable with regards to his field. We definitely recommend him...! 😊

Misleading title of the tour but Petra is definitely worth it - The misleading title is the first confusion. "The Private full day Petra and Wadi Rum" is only driving cost to go to Petra and Wadi Rum, nothing else. We had to buy separately Petra and Wadi Rum tickets and guides. Petra itself is definitely worth visiting but be aware of scammers of all kind while there. We hired a English speaking guide from the Petra Information center but we could not understand when he talked. His age was also a biggest concern because he could not walk either. He constantly discouraged us to go to the Adair Monastery. If we didn't rent golf carts the guide would never be able to make it.
