What people love about touring Petra solo
- Best of Jordan
This was a great trip! I loved the group I was with and the places we visited. My only feedback was the lunch options that were buffet style. I am a vegetarian and the places we went to were expensive. I would have like another food option at this times. I do with we had longer Jeep ride at wadi rum and I would have paid more for that. The hotels we stayed at were nice and the bus was really nice. Great trip and awesome memories!
- Petra, Wadi Rum and Dead Sea 4 days
Great tour! Very well organised and the guides were informative. I think it was great value for money and the accommodation was good. thanks for all!
- Red Sea Diving 8 days from Amman
It was an excellent experience. Some ideas for improvement are to provide times re: departures and provide possible side trips that can be booked upon arrival. We had a free day in Amman and ended up booking a driver but would have preferred to book with you (if I had known the day was free). We loved the extra day on the yacht to go snorkelling but could have had more time I either Wadi Rum or Petra.
What our customers ask about Petra Tours for Solo Travelers
What are the most social group activities included in Petra Country Region tours?
The tours blend adventure and social interaction through several key activities. Groups often spend 4-5 hours together on jeep safaris through Wadi Rum where they share picnic lunches and stop for traditional Bedouin tea. Evenings bring people together around campfires for traditional BBQ dinners and stargazing sessions. Walking tours through Petra's ancient pathways give travelers natural opportunities to connect. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The group bonded quickly during our Wadi Rum jeep tour and the evening BBQ at the Bedouin camp created lasting friendships."
What kind of accommodation arrangements are available for solo travelers?
Solo travelers can choose between shared or private spaces throughout their journey. Options include standard rooms at established properties like the Larsa Hotel in Amman or traditional tents at Bedouin desert camps. Most tours let guests either pay extra for private rooms or share with another solo traveler of the same gender. A TourRadar guest notes: "The Ammarin Bedouin Camp near Little Petra was very welcoming and comfortable with shared facilities that made it easy to meet other travelers."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Petra Country Region?
The peak seasons run from March to May and September to November. These months bring mild temperatures and the highest number of visitors which creates natural opportunities for socializing.

Summer (June-August) temperatures can reach uncomfortable highs while winter months (December-February) bring cold conditions especially in Petra and Wadi Rum's desert landscapes.

The tours naturally encourage connections through shared experiences. Days include 4-5 hour jeep rides through Wadi Rum and walks among Petra's ruins.

According to one TourRadar guest: "The tour was fantastic with Rania our guide bringing the whole group together so that after only 3 days we felt like old friends."
What type of accommodation can I expect as a solo traveler in Petra and surrounding areas?
Accommodations range from established hotels to authentic desert camps. In Petra many stay at 3-4 star properties like the Petra Guest House or Movenpick Nabatean Castle. Wadi Rum offers experiences at camps like Sun City or Mazayen. A TourRadar traveler reports: "The Bedouin camp had a very comfy bed great food and nice campfire area to watch the stars. It's also right by a popular rock climbing spot which offers nice views."

He also gave us advice on what to do on day 2 in Petra which involved taking shuttles to Little Petra and hiking in the mountains."
