Description

At the scheduled time in the morning, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Amman for your tour into the desert in the south of Jordan. We'll reach Petra between 7:30 and 8 am. This ancient rock-cut city, originally known as Raqmu, served as a trading hub and the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom from the 5th century BC.
