Private Tour of Petra

You'll be picked up from your hotel at 8 am, and from there, you'll make your way to Petra, the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom. You'll take a horseback ride through the Siq, the main entrance to Petra, a dim, narrow gorge approximately 0.75 miles (1.2 kilometers) long. Upon reaching the other side, you'll see why this site is considered one of the Wonders of the World.

The first building you’ll see is Al Khazneh, also known as the Treasury, over 131 feet (40 meters) tall and built in the 1st century BC. You will also see the Theatre and several tombs in the area.

After exploring this remarkable rock city, you'll return to Aqaba at 4 pm and be dropped at your hotel.
