What happens when you set this watch

We track every fare from your airport into Amman or Aqaba for September 1 to 20, 2027, round trips of 4 to 8 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.

Know before you go

Enter through the organiser well ahead; the field is capped.
Petra by night runs on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, so plan the race week around it.
Queen Alia airport is about three hours by road to Wadi Musa; Aqaba is about two hours south.
