About this experience
Experience a full-day private tour from Amman to the 2,000 year old UNESCO site of the City of Petra - one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Walk through the spectacular Siq - a narrow road through imposing cliffs with amazing natural colours - with an historical instruction to the site of Petra which will bring it to life.
At the end of the Siq the canyon will open up and you will be standing in front of The Treasury - a most majestic sight.
Continue into the remains of the city - through the Street of Facades to the Theatre and then look upon the Royal Tombs until you reach the Basin which is the furthest lowest point of Petra.
Admire the rock-hewn city as you walk and enjoy a privately guided tour to ensure you don’t miss any detail about its Treasury, tombs, and key monuments.
An tour that will interest all ages and a wide variety of people - if you are interested in History, Photography, Geology, Culture, Archaeology, Walking, Exploration and Learning about other Cultures.
