Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Amman, followed by a scenic 2.5-hour drive to Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Delve into the heart of this “Rose Red City,” established by the Nabataean Arabs in the 6th century B.C.
Upon arrival at the Petra Visitor Center, a short walk leads you to the Siq, a captivating 1.2-kilometer gorge. Marvel at the kaleidoscope of colors as towering rock walls, reaching over 80 meters, guide you towards Petra’s iconic Treasury. Emerging from the Siq, you’ll be awestruck by the intricate facades carved into the sandstone cliffs, a testament to Nabataean ingenuity.
Following your exploration of Petra’s wonders, a 1.5-hour drive transports you to the protected landscape of Wadi Rum. This vast desert, immortalized in “Lawrence of Arabia,” showcases dramatic canyons, towering cliffs, rolling sand dunes, and ancient rock inscriptions. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of this otherworldly terrain.
As the sun sets, casting golden hues across the desert, we begin our return journey to Amman, carrying with us memories of an unforgettable Jordanian adventure.
