Overview

Legendary capital of the Nabatean Empire, the rose-red city of Petra is too marvelous to rush through. You’ll want more than one day to visit this site. The Petra National Park covers around 40 square miles, and the ancient approaches to this Queen of the Caravan Cities extend the area we call “Petra” even further. After this intensive and exclusive five-day adventure of the ancient caravan empire, you will say “It is worth it”.

The Treasury
4h

After breakfast, spend the day with your private guide exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rose City of Petra. The ancient site was rediscovered in 1812 AD, and it was first settled around the 6th century BC by the Nabataean tribe from the Arabian Peninsula. Start your magnificent archaeological treasure visit of the Rose City on foot through a narrow Siq, where the gorge leads you to reveal the famous façade of Al-Khazneh (the Treasury). Continuing your walk inside the ancient site explore tombs, temples, an extraordinary Amphitheatre, and a Roman colonnaded street.

Day 3: Al Madras “The secret way” where you have the chance to experience the Bird’s eye view of the treasury.

The Royal Tombs
4h · Admission ticket included

Today! It is time to get off the beaten track for your second day of touring in Petra! Al Madras “Secret Way” is really off the tourist path, where it gives you the chance to enjoy a scenic view of the Treasury from above. You’ll be continuing to discover the site and visit the High Place of Sacrifice, Wadi Farasa, Great Temple, and Royal Tombs. Once you finish your tour inside the ruins, you will follow the route down to the outer Siq and back to the main gate.

Day 4: Petra via the Backdoor to the Monastery

Monastery (Al Dayr)
5h · Admission ticket included

On the third touring in Petra, you will be visiting the Siq Al Barid “Little Petra” the Nabatean customs point outside the bounds city of Petra. You reach the ancient settlement of Siq al Barid, where the remains of water pipes, cisterns, and frescoes have been preserved, only a few kilometers further to the Neolithic site of Baidha. The landscape changes noticeably as soon as we pass through the Wadi Merwan to Petra. The terrain is rugged, sandstone prevails, and plants grow only in the valley bottom. On this route, we hike over some places and will take our hands to help. It is about 10 m long rocky narrow place to overcome, for which dizzying and good walking cautiously is necessary. After the narrow spot we go around a rocky pebble, and suddenly we see before us the impressive rocks of ad-Deir. The magnificent view makes us forget the effort of ascent! On the way to exit the site, you will discover the Wadi Turkomanieh rock grave in the differently shimmering sandstone.
