Itinerary and highlights
Stop At: Petra – Wadi Musa
Upon arrival, meet your private guide and choose to hike or ride a horse through the Siq, a winding sandstone canyon leading to the iconic Treasury. Continue your exploration along the Street of Facades, the Roman Theater, and the Royal Tombs, discovering the rich history and stunning architecture of Petra.
Known as the Rose-Red City, Petra was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom. Its magnificent ruins remained hidden from the world until 1812, when Swiss explorer J.L. Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, unveiled the city. Today, Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Note: Travel time is approximately 3 hours from Amman to Petra and another 3 hours for the return journey.
Petra by Night – A Magical Experience
Petra during the day is breathtaking, but experiencing it at night under the glow of 1,800 lumens is truly unforgettable. Walk through the Siq and the marketplace along a candle-lit path leading to the Treasury, accompanied by the haunting melodies of Bedouin music.
Petra by Night tours run from 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. After the tour, you will be driven back to Amman or the airport.
Total duration: approximately 12 hours, including transportation.
