Day 2: Amman to Petra to Amman
At 07:30 am, get picked up from the hotel lobby and drive 2.5 hours via the Desert Highway to the rock city Petra, Jordan's main attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Petra was established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataean Arabs; a nomadic tribe settled in the area. With a sophisticated water supply and distribution system, the city could prosper, and the Nabateans founded a commercial empire that extended into Syria and controlled the main caravan routes at that time.
Meet your private guide at the Visitors Centre and start the tour on horseback or on foot to the Siq, the narrow canyon with some votive niches.
At the end of this gorge, you will see the most beautiful monument of Petra, the Treasury, also known as Al Khazneh.
Continue along the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh's Castle.
Free time on your own before you return, in the afternoon, to your Amman hotel for overnight.
