Petra entry fee 2026: 50 JOD for one day, 90 JOD if you do not sleep in Jordan
by RuinMyTrip Editorial · 2d ago
Petra charges 50 JOD for a one day ticket in 2026 if you spend at least one night in Jordan, and 90 JOD if you arrive and leave the same day, per the Jordan Tourism Board.
A one day ticket to Petra costs 50 Jordanian dinars in 2026 for a foreign visitor who spends at least one night in Jordan, according to the entrance fees table published by the Jordan Tourism Board. Two days costs 55 JOD and three days costs 60 JOD.
The day visitor price
The same table sets a separate price of 90 JOD for a one day visitor to Jordan, meaning someone who enters and leaves the country on the same date. That gap of 40 JOD is the largest single variable in the cost of seeing Petra, and your hotel booking decides it rather than the ticket desk.
What a real visit costs
Two adults on a two day ticket, both staying overnight in Wadi Musa, pay 55 JOD each, so 110 JOD in total at the gate. The same two adults arriving on a day trip and leaving Jordan that evening would pay 90 JOD each, or 180 JOD, for a shorter visit.
What is still unclear
The board publishes the prices without an effective date, so we cannot confirm from an official source when this schedule was last revised.
