Full description

Discover the site that UNESCO described as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage.” One of the 7 New Wonders of the World, Petra was constructed in the 3rd century BC.

It encompasses a series of massive temples, tombs, and structures carved into the red desert mountains. There are no other locales on earth that compare to the immensity, ancient craftsmanship, and sheer beauty of the ruins at Petra. Begin your tour with pickup from your hotel in Aqaba, at which point you’ll be driven directly to the site. After ambling through the vast rock formations that form a canopy above the desert sky, you’ll get your first glimpse of the ancient city.

Tour the monolithic treasury, mourning halls, caves, tombs, temples — and more breathtaking sights of this one-of-a-kind locale.  After your visit concludes and you stop at the gift shop, you’ll stop for lunch at a restaurant specializing in local delicacies. You’ll return at around 7:00 PM to your hotel, in perfect time to digest the sights over dinner.

Overall this was a good and well organised trip to Petra that we enjoyed. We waited in the hotel lobby for pickup without realising that the coach was waiting outside the hotel by security, but once we got going it was good. Petra is beautiful even with lots of people and a special place. The guided tour just a little rushed, but a lot to see for a day tour. Nice fellow travellers and a lovely meal in a local restaurant before heading back.

Very good tour guide. The trip was booked for a small group, we were on the MSC Splendida and were driven by shuttle bus from the ship to the meeting point. We also lost a participant in Petra, they were waiting. Thanks to the whole agency team. Greetings from Tyrol from Alex Travel
