The ancient city of Petra is one of Jordan’s national treasures and by far its best known tourist attraction. Petra is the legacy of the Nabateans, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then for its refined culture, massive architecture and ingenious complex of dams and water channels, Petra is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Much of Petra’s appeal comes from its spectacular setting deep inside a narrow desert gorge.
You can choose between two ways to visit the site*:
- Traditional way through the Siq (Canyon). A 2.5 hour guided tour starting from the Visitors Center, through the Siq to the Treasury. We will visit the Treasury, city center, the Royal tombs, Roman the theater, the High Place of Sacrifice and the Roman soldier tombs and many others.

We will begin with an approximately 2hrs hike through beautiful surrounding mountains area, until you reach the monastery (pictured above). Then you will continue through the main site of Petra exiting from the main gate. (surcharge of $210USD for 1 – 6 pax for the guide and transfer from the Visitors Center to Little Petra area for this option)
