You will leave from your hotel early in the morning to drive south to the Nabatean pink city of Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world. As you travel, you'll gaze at desert landscapes and hear tales of Jordanian history.
Carved out of a sandstone valley by the Nabatean people some 2,000 years ago, this ancient city of rose-red rock located 245 kilometers from Amman, at the crossroads of ancient trade routes, it used to dominate ancient Arabia.
Pass through Little Petra, a small rocky valley with carvings, which archaeologists believe acted as the Nabataean caravan before heading to the main city and as an accommodation stop for merchants who traveled through the city.
You will continue to the main site of Petra to learn more about its magnificent history. Once there, you will leave our vehicle and enjoy a 2-hour tour of this wonder listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a local guide. You will walk or ride a horse through the famous "Siq", a narrow path of 1.2 kilometers; rock fissure that was once the main entrance to the city. You will marvel at the first glimpse of the stunningly beautiful "El-Khazneh" Treasury as the canyon suddenly opens up. You will admire this rose-red masterpiece, originally built to house priceless treasures. Then, you will continue through the widening of the canyon to witness other buildings such as the 3,000 seat Theatre, the Royal Tombs and the Byzantine Church. As you explore, your guide will tell you about how the Nabateans carved the buildings and how they mastered the harsh conditions of the desert to make their lives here.
After approximately two hours of exploration, you will enjoy free time and take the opportunity to have lunch at our own expense. If time permits, during free time, you can go up to the Monastery or the High Place of Sacrifice: an altar on top of a cliff that once It was once used for animal sacrifices and other ceremonies.
After your free time, you will return to the entrance of Petra and you will meet the private vehicle and its driver to start the trip back to your hotel in Amman, where your tour ends.
