Stop At: Petra - Wadi Musa 77110 Jordan

We will pick you up from any place in Aqaba & drive to Petra with a short stop on the way. It takes around 2 hours to reach Petra Visitors Center where we start our walking journey to the World’s 8th wonder. After walking 800 m we reach Siq (a rock canal that measures 1200 meters in length, 3 to 12 meters in width, and reaches up to 80 meters in height).  The Siq opens up onto Petra’s most magnificent façade – the Treasury, or Al Khazna. After the Treasury, the path broadens into a wide Street of Facades flanked on either side by the tombs that characterize the entire site. The Street of Facades leads us to the 5,000-seat theatre, carved right in the middle of a major cemetery area: Across from the theatre at the western side of Jebel Khubtha we reach our final point – Royal Tombs. After a tour of the Royal Tombs, we unfold and return back to the Visitors Center from where the bus will take us to a local restaurant for a buffet lunch before moving back to Aqaba.
