Day 4 - Petra Full Day Tour

Full Day Tour of Petra

Get ready to tick off one of travel’s biggest ‘bucket list’ destinations –Petra. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient city is carved into the rose-coloured sandstone, earning it the nickname ‘the Red Rose City’. Begin the experience by walking through the narrow Siq and catch your first glimpse of Petra as you emerge before the Treasury. With the assistance of a professional guide, explore the tombs, palaces and temples of this awe-inspiring site.

Day 5 - Little Petra & Wadi Rum

A short drive this morning brings you to Petra’s lesser-known suburb, Siq al-Barid, fondly nicknamed ‘Little Petra’. Once a major part of ancient trading routes, the buildings and tombs are (like Petra) carved directly into the rockface – be sure to take the time to look at the frescos still visible depicting flaura, fauna and fruit. Next head into the vast lunar-like landscape of Wadi Rum for an exhilarating 4X4 ride over sand dunes. End the day by returning to Amman.
