Petra Day Trip

Travel back in time with a visit to the ancient Rose City of the desert. Ride through a narrow gorge on horseback to discover Petra, a millennia-old metropolis carved into the rock.

Description

At the scheduled time on the morning of your tour, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Amman for your adventure 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, was a trading hub and capital of the Nabataean Kingdom dating back to the 5th century BC.

Immerse yourself in the desert scenery on horseback. Riding through the narrow gorges between towering rock faces, you'll reach the iconic Treasury or Al Khazneh, an elaborate temple believed to be a royal mausoleum.

During the visit, you'll learn about the history of the Nabataean people and the importance of Petra during Roman rule. The guided tour will last approximately three to four hours.

Afterwards, you can enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant.

Feeling refreshed, you'll return to your hotel in Amman, arriving 12 hours after pickup.
