About this experience
We will begin this tour in the morning, departing from the lobby of your Dead Sea Hotel (Jordanian side) and driving down the desert highway for about 3 hours to reach the astonishing site of the rock city of Petra.
The stunning rose-red city of Petra, the crown jewel of Jordan, sits 240 km south of the vibrant capital, Amman. Established around the 6th century B.C. by the adventurous Nabataean Arabs, this nomadic tribe transformed the area into a bustling hub of commerce that stretched as far as Syria. Upon arrival, you’ll embark on a thrilling horseback journey into the enchanting Siq canyon, followed by a delightful stroll to the breathtaking Treasury monument. You’ll also encounter other remarkable sights, including the charming Street of Facades, the impressive Royal Tombs, and the fascinating Pharaoh’s Castle. Plus, it’s worth noting that Petra has earned its place as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World!
