Guided Tour of Petra

Designated as a World Heritage Site in 1985, the rose-red city of Petra, carved from rock, is an essential destination during your visit to Jordan. Experience its wonders on this exclusive tour from Aqaba.

Exclusive Tour of Petra

Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel at 8 am, flowing towards Petra, the historic capital of the Nabataean Kingdom and a significant treasure of Jordan.

Upon arrival, a horseback ride will lead you through the Siq, a gorge meaning 'the shaft' that serves as Petra's main access point. This narrow and dimly lit passageway, at times measuring just 10 feet (3 meters) across, stretches about 0.75 miles (1.2 kilometers). Emerging from the Siq, you'll understand why this city is celebrated as one of the Wonders of the World.

Your first breathtaking encounter will be with Al Khazneh, famously known as the Treasury. Rising to over 131 feet (40 meters) and crafted in the 1st century BC, it stands out as the most intricately detailed structure in Petra. Additionally, explore the Theatre and the numerous tombs interspersed throughout the site.

After immersing yourself in the wonders of this ancient rock city, you will return to Aqaba by 4 pm and be dropped off at your hotel.
