manc Posted July 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Has anyone used this on a private trip? There are so many places on the cruise on October that are must see places that we have been considering this and would appreciate your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haworth Posted July 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2018 On our trip to Petra we did not see any golf carts, only horses or horse drawn buggies for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many places on the cruise on October that are must see places that we have been considering this and would appreciate your thoughts Ignoring the fact that Petra does not appear handicapped accessible to me, how are you planning to get from the cruise port to Petra?

Grandma Cruising Posted July 8, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) I have heard that there are electric cars that can be booked to take people into Petra but didn’t see any while we were there. Here’s a link to some information about it on Trip Advisor. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g318895-i8977-k8031635-Visiting_Petra_and_Physically_Impaired-Petra_Wadi_Musa_Ma_an_Governorate.html It’s about a 2 hour bus drive from Aquaba to the entrance to Petra, where it seems you can hire the electric cars.

Borrie Posted July 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2018 They were there in Petra in May. No idea how much they cost or how you order. Sent from my HTC 2PXH3 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare travelberlin Posted July 8, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have seen a golf cart in Petra last year. I guess it is possible to rent it directly from Petra, maybe from a Hotel there. I have seen only one, so I suppose they are not very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc Posted July 8, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted July 8, 2018 A number of private tour operators offer the option following the drive from the ship. Just wondered if anyone had seen them whilst there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted July 8, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I hope they have good suspension! Having experienced horse and cart in and out and also walking in and out at night it's bumpy. Actually that is an understatement. One of the most amazing places I have ever been to. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH2508 Posted July 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Someone on our recent Regent cruise used the golf buggy to get back up from the sights at Petra. She said she was charged $135! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
