I was looking for a travel agent in Jordan that can help me with my solo trip way back 2020, this happened before the country locked down due to covid-19 situation. And Petra Nights Tours was the one who replied to me first and had a great deal with them to provide me a customized trip. The trip was unforgettable and gave me a glimpse of the main attractions in the country like Petra and Wadi Rum desert. I also had a relaxing time to bath in the Dead Sea and visit the places of Christianity (Mount Nebo, Madaba and Baptism Site). I really had a great time in Jordan and never felt alone during my stay there. Hopefully I will be able to travel there again.K201C

From start to finish this was the trip of a lifetime and the memories will last forever. We were met when getting off the plane, taken through immigration and into our minibus with Ahmad. He was fantastic, went above and beyond to make the whole trip magical, even given a mobile phone to contact him if needed in the evenings. I have recommended to at least ten people who have also now used Petra Night Tours and not one complaint! Well done!Nicky18

We so enjoyed our time with Petra Night tours and our driver. He was always courteous, helpful and ensured we got to the sights at a time when we could avoid crowds. His driving was exemplary. The tour guides that Petra night tours arranged at Petra and Wadi Rum were also excellent. Our lunch stops were well planned and we found the provided catering enjoyable and sufficient. The days were long but there was so much to see!Madeline_Armstrong

My boyfriend and I picked Petra Nights Tours for our first ever trip to Jordan and we are definitely happy with that decision! We had Tayseer as our private driver and cannot say enough good things about him. He made us feel instantly comfortable and shared so much about Jordan and the areas he was taking us to. I also truly have to highlight how easily and smoothly everything went along the way. We stayed somewhere different every night, and from one moment to another Tayseer knew exactly what we should be doing and how to handle multiple situations, from buying coffee to wake up times to handling our luggage while we were on the jeep tour. Absolutely five star service. Our favorite part by far was the experience in Wadi Rum-- the Sun City Camp was absolutely incredible; great experience to be under the stars, listening to live sitar music and eating amazing food with local people. I had a blast. Both our Petra tour guide and our 4x4 Jeep tour guides were so knowledgeable, kind, and funny too. Jordanians really had a great sense of humor about them and we really enjoyed that a lot. I will 100% be recommending PNT to my friends and family in the future if they wish to visit Jordan. This was so well done. We are thrilled with the choice of Petra Nights.YoshiyasuM2

Our tour was from Amman to Petra, Petra to Wadi Rum and Aqaba, Petra to Dead sea via Madaba, Mt Nebo, total 9 nights. Due to winter there were few people, too and we were able to enjoy a sightseeing spot enough. During winter it will be cold very much at night. So you have to have thick clothes to stay in the desert area.GiuliaBtravelling

The trip was very well organized and what we appreciated first of all was the fact that the driver fully followed the programme given. It has to be also mentioned that we were three women, a mum with her 2 daughters (all adults, well well grown up LOL) and the tour was also really enjoyable thanks to our private driver, Oqba. He was very kind, supportive, took care of us and he made an extra effort for us when having an issue with one of the hotels booked. On purpose we decided to have just a private driver and not a private guide because on vacation it is nice to have some explanations but also some private and personal time to talk, to watch the sceneries, to simply relax (also because usually we all have a lonely planet guide with us to read 😁). Oqba fully understood and respected our exigences and talked at planned stops or when we were making questions but not all the time like certain guides (which I find exhausting...). Furthermore he was a gentleman and never making unpleasant comments. So we fully recommend him, Oqba, because on this type of trips obviously the person makes the difference, in bad or good and he made a huge difference, in good 😊 One important comment in my view, especially for European tourists, is to remind though that in the Jordanian culture tips are common and well expected. Also during the various planned stops from the tourist agency "Petra Nights Tours", people are always trying to promote and sell their products. For European tourists, this can be very tiring at the end... but it is also true that we never felt forced to buy something, so if you are not interested in anything, you can simply go to the toilet, grab a coffee and smile, because the world is so nice because of its mamy cultures and traditions and we shall all trying to respect them. So to recap, thanks million to Oqba 😎 and to the tourist agency Petra Nights Tours.
