Guided Tour of Petra

Named as a World Heritage Site in 1985, the rock-carved rose-red city of Petra is a must-see on any trip to Jordan. Discover it on this private tour from Aqaba.

Private Tour of Petra

You'll be picked up from your hotel at 8 am and travel to Petra, the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom. A horseback ride will take you through the Siq, which is the main entrance to Petra, a dim, narrow gorge approximately 0.75 miles long (1.2 kilometers) that reaches a width of no more than 10 feet (3 metres) in some areas. Upon reaching the other side, you'll see why this is regarded as one of the Wonders of the World.

The first structure you’ll view is the city’s most detailed ruin, Al Khazneh (the Treasury), standing over 131 feet tall (40 metres) and constructed in the 1st century BC. You will also see the Theatre and numerous tombs in this remarkable city. After exploring, you'll return to Aqaba at 4 pm, with a drop-off at your hotel.
