Petra
Petra’s exceptional historical and architectural significance has been recognized globally, culminating in its selection as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. This designation underscores its status as a site of unparalleled universal value, drawing visitors from every corner of the globe eager to witness its enduring majesty.
Emerging from the mysterious depths of the Siq, the breathtaking sight of the Treasury, or Al-Khazneh, awaits. This iconic monument, renowned for its elaborate Corinthian facade and towering presence, is carved with incredible precision into the rock face. While its purpose remains a subject of scholarly debate (some believe it to be a royal tomb or a temple), its sheer grandeur has undeniably captivated visitors for centuries.
After experiencing Petra and enjoying the fantastic views, reconvene with your driver for the 2-hour journey to Wadi Rum

Wadi Rum
Welcome to Wadi Rum, as its striking wilderness of dramatic contrasts welcomes you, towering sandstone and granite mountains, shaped over millennia by wind, water, and sand, emerge abruptly from the flat desert. The most remarkable feature is the deep, burnished red-orange hue of the sand and rocks, stained by iron oxide, which lends the entire landscape a glowing, cinematic quality, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
The Experience
Exploration of Wadi Rum typically involves traversing the terrain in a sturdy 4x4 jeep, guided by local Bedouin drivers who expertly navigate the dunes and valleys. Alternatively, a camel trek offers a more traditional, unhurried journey through the desert. Expansive slopes of soft, fine red sand invite visitors to climb for breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views. You’ll also encounter narrow fissures, such as the Khazali Canyon, where ancient Nabataean and Thamudic petroglyphs—rock carvings depicting humans, animals, and symbols—are still preserved on the cool stone walls, providing a silent testament to 12,000 years of human history.
After finishing the tour, meet with your driver for the drive to Amman.
