Itinerary and highlights
Welcome to Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan! (Ahlan Wa Sahlan) You have now arrived at Queen Alia International Airport, the main and largest airport in Jordan. Our English speaking driver will pick you up, based on the time of your flight arrival you have provided us. He will drive along the Desert Highway, taking 2.40 hour of driving to the “Red Rose City” and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Petra. Prepare yourself for a lot of walking at the sand and rocks since this tour will take maximum of 4 hours depending on your walking pace.
Upon arrival in Petra, a local guide will meet you at the Petra visitor center (if selected). He/she will guide you for 2.5 hours. Petra is the biggest attraction of Jordan and was first established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataean Arabs, a nomadic tribe who settled in the area and laid the foundation of a commercial empire that extended into Syria. Walk through the canyon or so called Siq to see the most beautiful monument: The Treasury Building rising over 140 feet and continue via the Street Facades to the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh’s Castle. You will have a free time after to explore on your own. After visiting the sites you will be met by our driver at the Visitor’s Center. That ends your Petra visit and tour in Jordan.
Drive for 206km, taking 2.5 hours to Queen Alia International Airport to say farewell.
