Aqaba (Petra) Cruise Reviews

Second time I have docked at Aquaba and not gone to Petra, cant see the value of spending $300-400 to see Petra when other ruins around the world are a fraction of the cost. We got a 5 euro bus trip around Aquaba and visited a nice restaurant close to port and tried the local beer. ...

Jordan was my favourite port, did both Petra and Wadi rum on a private tour. We saw as much of Petra as most of the people I spoke to did on their Petra only tours. The only issue was the temperature, the Freestyle listed 23 or 24 as the expected temperature. When we stopped at the viewpoint on the way to Petra it was 8 degrees. Freezing ! ...

Rubbish lunch. Waited too long for food 45 mins. Not good food ...

Been here before so, Independantly explored Aqaba. ...

We had a private tour it was the best. Got to do Petra and Wadi Rum which was the highlight ...

Definitely worth doing and glad we did this trip. Saw a lot and did everything we wanted to do. ...

lots of interesting sights, but continually pestered by pest forcing you to use the horse, donkey or carts ...

We paid a deposit via credit card in advance. We were also required to provide passport info to Memphis Tours in advance. The balance of our costs had to be paid in cash when we met with our driver. A ...

Good tour with very knowledgeable guide. ...
