Itinerary and highlights

Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Amman and board a climate-controlled vehicle, accompanied by a private, English-speaking driver, and enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi access. Take in the views of Jordan’s desert landscapes as you travel south towards Petra.

The Petra Light Festival, a multimedia show at the Treasury, celebrates Nabataean heritage through dynamic light, music, and narratives. The "Rebirth" themed festival honors the Nabataeans' culture, rituals, enlightenment, strength, and resilience, inviting visitors to experience their multifaceted nature. It highlights Petra's multicultural essence and champions artistic freedom. Projection mapping connects us to our shared human past, where history unfolded, emphasizing our global interconnectedness.

Petra, an ancient city in Jordan, was founded by the Nabataean Arabs around the 6th century B.C., evolving into a powerful commercial empire. Visitors enter via a horseback ride through the Siq, a narrow canyon, to the breathtaking Treasury (Al-Khazneh), a monumental rock-carved facade of debated purpose. Beyond, the Street of Facades and Royal Tombs (including the Urn, Silk, Corinthian, and Palace Tombs) showcase Nabataean artistry. The journey also includes Pharaoh’s Castle (Qasr al-Bint), a preserved temple, and other structures like the Theatre and Great Temple. Petra's historical and architectural significance is recognized globally, earning it a spot as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

After a full day immersed in the unparalleled history and beauty of Petra, we will conclude our visit and begin our comfortable three-hour return drive to your hotel in Amman. This trip promises an unforgettable experience, leaving you with lasting memories of one of the world's most extraordinary archaeological treasures.
