Discover the Ancient Wonders of Petra

As the sun rises over Amman on May 24th, the city awakens to a day of clear skies and perfect weather, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure. Begin your journey with a visit to Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This ancient city, carved into rose-red cliffs, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the past. Arrive early in the morning to make the most of your exploration, as the site opens at 7:00 AM. Wander through the narrow Siq, a natural gorge that leads to the iconic Treasury (Al-Khazneh), and marvel at the intricate rock-cut architecture that tells the stories of the Nabateans.

For those seeking a deeper understanding of Petra’s history, licensed guides are available at the visitor center. Spend four hours immersing yourself in the ancient city’s secrets, from the Roman-style theater to the elaborate tombs. As you explore, the moderate wind and low humidity create a comfortable atmosphere, perfect for a day of discovery. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen, as the UV index is high, and stay hydrated with bottled water provided by your tour.
