Tour Features and Highlights
Tour Itinerary
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your residence in Aqaba, where your driver welcomes you for a scenic transfer to the legendary Red-Rose City of Petra. Known as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Petra is a place like no other. Carved into the sheer rock face by the industrious Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago, this ancient city was once a thriving hub for trade routes linking China, India, and Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece, and Rome.
As you approach Petra, anticipation builds. Enter the city through the awe-inspiring Siq, a 1-kilometer-long gorge flanked by towering cliffs reaching 80 meters high. The dazzling colors and unique formations of the rocks create an enchanting atmosphere as you wind your way toward Petra’s crowning jewel: the Treasury (Al-Khazneh).
Step further into history as you explore Petra’s marvels, including the Roman Theater, the Royal Tombs, the Court, Qasr Al-Bint, and the Byzantine Church. Each structure tells a story of the Nabataeans’ ingenuity and the cultural exchanges that shaped this ancient wonder.
After a day of awe and exploration, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel in Aqaba, carrying unforgettable memories of Petra’s timeless beauty and rich history.
