Day Tour To Petra From Amman Airport

About this experience

Our tour offers an accurate and exciting description of Petra, encouraging travelers to book an unforgettable experience.

Located 140 miles (225 kilometers) from Amman, Petra was once a significant force on the ancient Arabian trade routes. Your journey begins with a stop at Little Petra, the Nabataeans' caravan stop, before proceeding to the central city.

The visit to this hauntingly beautiful place starts with a walk through the Siq, a narrow and impressively long, deep gorge of stunning natural beauty. This was once the city's main entrance, hemmed in by cliffs that soared up to 263 feet (80 meters) and measured three-quarters of a mile (1.2 kilometers).
