One Day Petra Visit

Early departure from Amman to Petra, the Rose-Red City, was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom whose ruins remained hidden to most of the world until the Swiss explorer, JL Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, infiltrated the city in 1812.  It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.  Walk or ride a horse down to the entrance of the Siq, a long, winding sandstone canyon that leads to the Treasury.  The tour continues to the Street of Facades, the Roman Theater and the Royal Tombs. Return to Amman.

Your driver will pick you up from your hotel in Amman at 7:00 am in a private vehicle to start the tour. Depart south to the Rose-Red City of Petra, the ancient city that was founded by the Nabateans 2000 years ago. Its massive architectural structure and its multicolored stones are an incredible attraction. The visit of the ancient Nabatean capital starts with a private guide walking through the Siq, a long narrow fissure between two overhanging cliffs. Towards the end of the Siq, you will be spellbound by Petra's most famous monument; the Treasury. After the visit, return to Amman.
