Overview

Discover the marvelous rock-cut city of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESO – listed Red Rose City of the Nabateans, on a full-day private trip from Amman that combines an expert-led guided tour of the site with time to explore on your own. This full-day trip to Petra from Amman is different from the known classic visits as you start from the end from Little Petra to the beginning visiting: the Monastery, the Byzantine Church, The Royal Tombs, the Theater, the Treasury “El- Khazneh” then walk the narrow path known as the “Siq”; the entranceway between stone walls, to the main entrance. Experience this ancient splendid and marvelous place of fascinating history with a different taste! The tour includes pick-up and drop-off at your Amman hotel, with all transport by climate-controlled vehicle, English- Speaking Driver who doubles up as your guide, and a well-informed local guide for the adventure!

    First, you will walk thru the back end from Little Petra (Beida) – Siq Albarid to the farming village going up the mountains for an exceptional breath-taking view of the Monastery, then descend to the Byzantine Church and Qasr el Bint.

    This tour ends by returning thru the “siq”, a narrow path of 1.2 kilometers then to the main entrance of the visitor’s center.
