Itinerary
Benefit from pick-up at your hotel in Aqaba, and then journey to the historical city of Petra. Marvel at the monuments carved into the pink rock face by the Nabateans over 2,000 years ago and explore their extraordinary engineering skills. Enter the site through the 1-kilometer gorge of the Siq and see the dazzling colors and rock formations up close. Catch your first sight of Al Khazneh and be overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the valley and its architectural wonders. Discover hundreds of elaborate rock-cut tombs with intricate carvings, a colossal Roman-style theater, the sacrificial altars and amazing streets of colonnades. Enjoy panoramic views from the impressive Ad Deir Monastery and get an insight into Petra’s colorful past at the Petra Archaeological Museum and Petra Nabataean Museum. Get the chance to buy unique souvenirs at the small stalls set up by artisans from Wadi Musa and at a nearby Bedouin settlement.
Wadi Rum is a protected area covering 720km2 of dramatic desert wilderness in the south of Jordan. See it all in a 3 hour 4WD Jeep Tour. Upon arrival at Wadi Rum village, climb into the back of a 4WD jeep. As you make your way through the canyons and across the vast tracks of red sand, see ancient inscriptions, extraordinarily coloured sand dunes and majestic mountains. During the course of your tour, you have time to walk through one of the picturesque canyons for approx. 45 minutes. At the end of your tour, we will stop at a 5* Bedouin Camp, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch. Take the time to explore the surroundings before returning to the village of Wadi Rum where your driver awaits you. If you want, there will be camels - "ships of the desert" - available for riding (extra cost) from Bedouins out in the heart of the desert or at the campsite.

About Petra
Petra is the rose-red Nabataean city carved into the sandstone cliffs of southern Jordan, reached through a narrow gorge called the Siq.
Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans, Arab traders who grew rich on incense and spice caravans and carved tombs, temples and houses into the sandstone cliffs more than two thousand years ago. Visitors enter through the Siq, a narrow winding gorge more than a kilometre long, and emerge facing the Treasury, a rose-coloured facade of columns and statues cut straight into the rock. The city is a World Heritage Site and was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
Top-ranked sights in Petra: Shobak Castle (Krak de Montréal), Little Petra (Siq al-Barid), Treasury (al-Khazneh).
