- Petra - Wadi Musa - Depart from the hotel early in the morning to head south to the Nabatean Red Rose City of Petra, a renowned Wonder of the World, for a classic tour. As you journey, admire the desert landscapes and listen to stories of Jordan’s rich history. Carved into a sandstone valley by the Nabataean people over 2,000 years ago, this ancient rose-red rock city is located 245 kilometers from Amman at the crossroads of historic trade routes, dominating ancient Arabia. Arrive at Petra’s main site to delve into its fascinating history. Upon arrival, leave your vehicle and embark on a 2-hour guided tour of this UNESCO Heritage-listed marvel with a local guide.
- Siq - Begin by walking through the famous “Siq,” a narrow 1.2-kilometer path; a rock fissure that served as the main entrance to the city, and be captivated by your first view of the hauntingly beautiful Treasury “El - Khazneh.”
- Al-Khazneh - As the canyon suddenly opens up, admire this rose-pink masterpiece, originally constructed to house invaluable treasures, and capture it on camera. Then, continue through the widening canyon to see other monuments such as the 3,000-seater Theater, the Royal Tombs, and the Byzantine Church. As you explore, listen to your guide explain how the Nabateans sculpted the buildings and learn how they adapted to the harsh desert conditions to thrive here. After approximately two hours of exploration, enjoy some free time. If time allows, you can climb up to the Monastery on your own or visit the High Place of Sacrifice: a clifftop altar once used for animal sacrifices and other ceremonies.
-
Petra - Enjoy free time to visit The Petra Museum; if time permits, then rejoin your vehicle and driver. Pass by Little Petra, a small rocky valley with carvings, believed by archaeologists to have served as the Nabatean’s caravan stop before reaching the main city and as accommodation for traders passing through. Then, travel back to Amman, where your day trip concludes with a hotel drop-off.
Please wear comfortable shoes and bring a sunhat for this unforgettable adventure. Come and explore one of the world’s wonders of architectural engineering combined with the ingenuity of carving for an unforgettable adventure reminiscent of Indiana Jones and the Transformers!
