Itinerary

Petra - Wadi Musa
180 min

You will leave the hotel early in the morning to Join a small group to drive south to the Nabatean Red Rose City of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, for a classic visit. As you travel, gaze at the desert landscapes and hear tales of Jordan’s history. Hewn into a sandstone valley carved by the Nabataean people more than 2,000 years ago, this ancient rose-red rock city located 245 kilometers from Amman at the crossroads of age-old trading routes, to dominate ancient Arabia. Reach Petra main site to learn more about its magnificent history. On arrival, leave your vehicle, and enjoy a 2-hour tour of this UNESCO Heritage listed wonder with a local guide.

Siq
Admission included180 min

First, walk through the famous “Siq”, a narrow path of 1.2 kilometers; rock fissure that was once the main entrance to the city, and marvel at your first glimpse of the hauntingly beautiful Treasury “Al - Khazneh”

The Treasury
Admission included180 min

As the canyon suddenly opens up. Admire this rose-pink masterpiece, originally built to house priceless treasures and capture it on camera. Then, proceed through the widening canyon to witness other monuments such as the 3,000-seater Theater, the Royal Tombs, and the Byzantine Church. As you explore, listen as your guide describes how the Nabateans sculpted the buildings, and learn how they mastered the harsh desert conditions to make their lives here. After around two hours of exploring, enjoy free time. If time permits you can climb up the Monastery on your own or the High Place of Sacrifice: a clifftop altar that was once used for animal sacrifices and other ceremonies.

Petra - Wadi Musa
180 min

Free time to visit The Petra Museum; if there is time, then rejoin your vehicle and driver. Pass by Little Petra, a small rocky valley with carvings, that archaeologists believe acted as the Nabatean’s caravan before heading to the main city and as an accommodation stop for the traders who traveled through the city. Then, journey back to Dead Sea, where your day trip ends with a hotel drop off. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring a sunhat for this unforgettable adventure.

Full day tour of Petra and Wadi Rum from Dead Sea

We did the private full day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Dead Sea. Our driver Basel was the best! He picked us up promptly at 6am at our hotel and personally requested the front desk to provide breakfast for us as it is a 3-hr drive to Petra from Dead Sea. After a very educational and exhilarating 3-4 hr walking tour of the Lost City of the Nabatean, Basel picked us up promptly to head down to Wadi Rum - another 2-hr drive from Petra. The camel riding was amazing in Wadi Rum was amazing! Definitely a bucket list experience. The 4x4 jeep tour further highlighted our experience in the red sand desert and we were able to see spectacular natural rock and sand formations and the most magical sunset views. We were also able to spend time with the kindest Bedouin people who offered us chai tea. The entire experience was otherworldly in the most amazing sense. From Wadi Rum, Basel had to drive us back to our hotel in Dead Sea which is another 4-hr drive! Despite the long journey, Basel remained in good spirits and made sure to stop for coffee, food, and whatever we needed. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you Basel and Zaid Tours! You made the Jordan leg of our trip undoubtedly one for the books!
