Petra visit - Aqaba
After breakfast at your Petra hotel, begin a guided visit to the ancient city of Petra, Jordan's most famous archaeological treasure and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known as the "Rose City" due to the color of the stone from which it is carved, Petra was once the flourishing capital of the Nabataean Kingdom and remains one of the most remarkable ancient sites in the world. Enter Petra through the dramatic Siq, a narrow sandstone gorge that leads to the city's most iconic monument, Al Khazneh (The Treasury). As you explore further, discover an extraordinary collection of rock-cut tombs, temples, sacrificial altars, colonnaded streets, and the impressive Roman-style theatre carved into the mountainside. High above the valley lies the impressive Ad-Deir Monastery, reached by a climb of approximately 800 rock-cut steps for those wishing to continue further into the site. Following your Petra tour, continue on a scenic drive of approximately two hours to Aqaba, Jordan's only coastal city, located on the shores of the Red Sea. Enjoy a brief orientation tour of this relaxed seaside destination, known for its warm waters, colorful marine life, and popular diving and beach resorts. Check in at your Aqaba hotel for an overnight stay.
