Signature Petra

Welcome to Jordan! Our representative will assist you in collecting your luggage at Amman airport, and take you to meet your private English-speaking chauffeur-guide. Transfer to your hotel for check-in with the guide. The rest of the day is free for you to rest or you could visit the Citadel and the Roman Theater under your own steam.

In the morning, drive along the 5,000-year-old Kings' Highway to Petra. En-route, make a short stop at Mt. Nebo for a whole overlook of the Dead Sea. Continue your way to Madaba, renowned as the location of the Madaba Map. This most famous mosaic map is on the inner floor of the St. George Church, depicting hills and valleys, villages and towns as far as the Nile Delta. Continue to drive about 3.5 hours to Petra.

Today, you will have an English-speaking expert guide for a 2-hour introduction to Petra. After that, it is free time for exploration at your pace.

First, you will walk through the Siq, the main entrance to Petra, which looks like a long, narrow and dim crack in the rock mountain. Al Khazneh (The Treasury) is right before your eyes when you reach the end of Siq canyon. Al Khazneh is a 39-meter-high mausoleum for the Nabataean King Aretas IV carved deep into the red sandstone rock face. Continue walking to visit other sites according to your interest, such as the Royal Tombs, the Colonnaded Street, the Monastery (Al-Deir), etc. Immerse yourself in the ancient and well-preserved capital city of the Nabataean people. If you like, sightseeing on a camel or a donkey is available.

In the afternoon, return to Amman by car.

Enjoy the last hours until your personal guide picks you up and escorts you to the airport for the flight to your next destination. Goodbye to Jordan.
