Petra Tickets and the Jordan Pass
What Petra charges (50, 55, 60 or 90 JD), what the Jordan Pass costs and covers, the two-night visa condition, and which Petra and Wadi Rum tour options already hold the tickets. November 2026.
Petra charges 50 JD for one day if you spend at least a night in Jordan, and 90 JD if you visit for the day without staying overnight (Visit Petra, November 2026). Most Petra and Wadi Rum tours leave the ticket out of their price. The Jordan Pass, at 70 to 80 JD, covers Petra and Wadi Rum and waives the 40 JD tourist visa fee if you buy it before you arrive and stay at least two nights. If you would rather have the tickets in the tour price, Al Amal’s From Amman: Petra & Wadi Rum Private or group Day Tour has two options with Petra and Wadi Rum entry tickets included.
Pick the option that says “entry tickets” on the calendar: for one adult on 15 January 2027 the shared one cost US$293.37 and the private one US$495.80, both with a 2-hour jeep tour.
What Petra charges
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| One day, staying at least one night in Jordan | 50 JD |
| Two consecutive days, staying overnight | 55 JD |
| Three consecutive days, staying overnight | 60 JD |
| One day, not staying overnight in Jordan | 90 JD |
| Children under 12 | Free |
| Extend a 50 JD ticket (at the Visitor Center only) | 5 JD |
| Petra by Night (separate ticket, daytime ticket needed too) | 30 JD |
Visit Petra, the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority’s site, November 2026. Bring your passport to the ticket office.
The 90 JD rate is the one that catches day visitors crossing from Eilat or arriving by cruise ship at Aqaba. A tour from Amman, after a night in a hotel there, pays the 50 JD rate.
Inside the park: what else costs money
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Guide for the main trail | 50 JD |
| Guide for the main trail and the Monastery | 100 JD |
| Guide for the main trail and the High Place | 100 JD |
| Club car, Visitor Center to the Treasury, one way (4 km) | 15 JD |
| Club car, both ways | 25 JD |
| 4x4 from the Cultural Village to the Monastery Trail, one way, 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM | 5 JD a person |
Visit Petra, November 2026. Guides are booked at the Visitor Center when you arrive.
The Jordan Pass

Each pass covers over 40 sites, Wadi Rum among them. The pass page states the visa condition as “Waiving of tourist entry visa fees if you purchase the Jordan Pass before arrival to Jordan and stay a minimum of two nights (3 days).” The visit visa itself costs 40 JD (UK Foreign Office, November 2026). The pass does not include transport or Petra by Night, is valid for three months after you buy it, and expires one month after its first scan.
The arithmetic for one Petra day: 40 JD for the visa plus 50 JD for Petra is 90 JD, against 70 JD for the Wanderer. If your stay meets the two-night condition, the pass is cheaper before you count Wadi Rum or anything else on its list.
Tour prices with and without the tickets
| Tour option (one adult, 15 January 2027) | Without tickets | With entry tickets | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Amal’s day tour, shared car with the jeep tour | US$161.35 | US$293.37 (Petra and Wadi Rum) | US$132.02 |

GetYourGuide option pickers, read November 2026.
Both 2-day tours on this site leave the entrance fees out, so on those you pay at the Visitor Center or bring a Jordan Pass bought online before arrival.
If you already hold a Jordan Pass, take a transport-only option and show the pass at the gate; Petra’s tickets for pass holders are scanned only at the Visitor Center.
Wadi Rum’s fee
This page gives no figure for the Wadi Rum Protected Area’s own entry fee. The Jordan Pass lists Wadi Rum among its sites, and the day tour’s options with entry tickets include it; the other tours here leave it out of the price.
