About this experience
It's more than just a trip to Petra, it is a full day journey through some of Jordan's most remarkable landmarks. We begin with a stop in Madaba to visit St. George's Church, home to the famous 6th century Byzantine Mosaic Map of the Holy Land — one of the oldest and most extraordinary cartographic works in the world, depicting the entire Holy Land in stunning detail. We then continue to Mount Nebo, the sacred site where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land before his death, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and on a clear day, even Jerusalem in the distance.
From there, the ancient wonder of Petra awaits. No group buses, no rushing just you and your private driver moving at your own pace. A licensed guide inside Petra is not included, giving you the freedom to explore independently or arrange a local guide at the site if you prefer.
This is the most flexible and personal way to experience the very best of Jordan in a single day.
