Description:

A city that almost defies superlatives, Petra is an important symbol of Jordan. Take a private tour to explore the famous ancient city cut into red sandstone. Wonder at the diversity of the archeological sites on show while learning the historical perspective from your knowledgeable guide.

The entrance to Petra is one of the day's great delights. Journey through the Siq, a narrow gorge flanked by grand cliffs rising more than 250 feet (80 m) in the air. The dramatic approach concludes as you arrive at Al-Khazneh (the Treasury); the size of the temple creates an inspiring sight.

Marvel at the sights as your guide describes the engineering brilliance of the Nabataeans who built the city more than 2,000 years ago. Continue around the city and admire the rock-cut architecture of many of its remains. See the Roman-style amphitheater, the impressive monastery perched above, and observe the countless temples, altars, and colonnaded streets.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the “Rose City” is a great cultural celebration and a precious reminder of what the human race is capable of, even in the most dramatic natural environments.
