Golf Car in Petra: The Most Comfortable Way to Discover the Pink City
Explore Petra with Ease Using a Golf Cart Service
The unique layout of Petra, carved into rocky gorges more than 2,000 years ago, offers breathtaking views but can also be challenging to navigate. Fortunately, golf carts are available to visitors, offering a comfortable and efficient way to explore this incredible site.
What Does This Activity Consist Of?
A golf car ride in Petra is an excellent way to quickly travel from the entrance gate to the Treasury, one of the most iconic landmarks of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The distance between the two points is about 2 kilometers, which can be a long walk for those with limited mobility or those who prefer to save time.
This service is particularly beneficial for visitors who are short on time or those who want to maximize their experience without the physical strain of walking through the entire archaeological site. The ride provides a scenic and efficient way to explore Petra’s most important landmarks.
Types of Golf Cart Services Available
Visitors have a few options when it comes to using the golf carts:
-
One-way trip to the Treasury: Ideal for those who simply wish to reach the Treasury quickly and comfortably.
-
Round trip to the Treasury: A convenient option for a full, yet quick, round trip.
-
Extended ride to explore more of Petra: Includes a visit to the Treasury and other sites within Petra, such as the Facade Street, Theatre, and Colonnaded Street (depending on terrain and availability).
Where to Get a Golf Cart in Petra
Golf carts are available at the visitor center located at the entrance of Petra, in the town of Wadi Musa. Due to high demand and limited availability, it’s not possible to book them in advance to secure your spot. All bookings and payments must be made directly and personally at the Visitors Center. Jordan Horizons Tours and other travel agencies cannot pre-book or guarantee golf cart availability, as this service is managed solely by the Petra Region Authority. Golf carts are subject to availability, and priority is given to elderly visitors and those with special needs or limited mobility.
However, bookings are not possible in advance through Jordan Horizons Tours, as the carts are owned and managed by the Petra Region Authority (PRA). We can, however, assist with on-site arrangements, depending on availability.
