Itinerary
Stop 1
07:00 your driver meets you in the hotel lobby. Enjoy your private three hours transfer to Petra. The vehicle is equipped with free WiFi.
Stop 2
The red rose rock city Petra is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This ancient wonder is the biggest attraction of Jordan and was first established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataean Arabs. This nomadic tribe settled in the area and laid the foundation of a commercial empire that extended into Syria. Walk on your own – or if selected with your private local guide – through the canyon, the Siq, ending in front of the most beautiful monument: The Treasury. Following the main trail you see other colourful sandstone buildings like the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh’s Castle. It is also worth it to climb the 800 stairs to the mighty Monastery El Deir, the path winds up just behind the restaurant area. El Deir is not included in the standard guided tour, but it is easy to follow the path on your own. Return via the main trail to the entrance gate.
Stop 3
After your Petra visit, meet your driver again, taking you back to your Dead Sea hotel.
