Aqaba - Excursions and day trips

Located on the Red Sea, Aqaba is a popular vacation destination. There are many day trips and excursions that can be taken from Aqaba. Depending on your interests, you can visit sites such as Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea.

If you're a fan of ancient architecture, consider visiting the UNESCO World Heritage site of Petra. The city was carved out of rock more than 2000 years ago. Today, visitors can tour the royal tombs and Roman theater of this impressive archaeological site. You can also visit the Petra Nabataean Museum to learn more about the history of the city.

If you want to see more of the Jordan desert, take an excursion to Wadi Rum. This area is protected and is known as an otherworldly landscape. You can ride a camel, or enjoy a 4-wheel drive ride through the desert. You'll also learn about the history of the Bedouins and how they live. You can book spa treatments and take a swim in the mineral-rich waters.

Another popular Aqaba excursion is a day trip to the Dead Sea. The salty waters are a great place to take a swim or snorkel. You can also visit a coral reef and explore the marine life. If you'd like to return to Aqaba, you can arrange a return bus or shuttle.

If you'd rather stay in the comfort of a hotel, there are plenty of options for Aqaba day trips. Many of the day tours include pickup and transportation. You can opt for a private transfer for a more personal experience.

FAQ

Do I have to give my guide a tip?

No. It is not required and not expected of you to tip your guide. However, if one is presented, the guide might accept a gratuity. To guarantee that they are fairly compensated for their time, each guide sets the price of their tours. They do not depend on gratuities from tours as a result. If you want to support your guide, write a review of your tour.

What happens once I make a reservation?

After making the payment, you should wait at least 24 hours prior to the travel date for your Local Expert to confirm the requested date. If your reservation is approved, a confirmation email will be sent to your registered email address with the reservation's specifics and the Local Expert's direct contact information.

Is it possible to py in cash?

We have a policy that states that a reservation can only be verified after a legitimate payment has been made on our website. The process aids in preventing disputes that could occur while paying in cash in person. You can be confident that this money won't be given to the Local Expert right away. After your tour is over, Excursopedia will hold it and then provide it to the Local Guide.

How can I find out if a reservation has been confirmed?

When you finish making your online payment and the Local Guide accepts your booking request, your reservation will be finalized. You will receive a confirmation email. Don't worry; if the Local Guide does not confirm your booking after you provide your credit card information, the transaction will not be completed.
