Diving in the Red Sea: Aqaba Jordan

We take your passport details before the tour and arrange the visa for you. You receive it at the border on the day of your trip. The visa costs $90 for visitors to Petra and there is a further $65 charge for the border taxes and tips so the total border fee on the day is $155 (or $163 if paying by credit card). People spending two nights or more in Jordan get the Visa for free and since hotels are more comfortably priced than those in Eilat it's an option that a lot of our guests go for. Just one night in Jordan reduces the Petra Entrance fee by $60, so for most people it's definitely worth staying a night or two and taking in more of the sights. Of course you can arrange a visa in advance if you wish but you'll find it's cheaper and more convenient to simply do it through us. Visitors to Jordan who are not visiting Petra pay $90 for the entrance visa.
