Petra and Wadi Rum
I contacted Via Jordan and Memphis tour agencies -- both are highly recommended in Trip Advisor, to obtain information for a private tour to Petra and Wadi Rum. Seeing both sites in a single day will make for a long day -- 10 to 11 hours -- but will be well worth the effort - and will be an amazing day. The price for this tour is running from 180 to 185 per person for a group of 12 people.
Information for this tour:
Petra and Wadi Rum tours from Aqaba port will take you back to the magical time of Jordan. The tour guide will pick up from Aqaba Port by the cruise exit door.

From here walk to the Street of Facades and the Royal Tombs. After lunch, we will drive 1.5 hrs to the protected area of Wadi Rum, one of the most impressing desert landscapes in the world.
