Private tour to the Nabatean Red Rose City of Petra

Venture south to the Nabatean Red Rose City of Petra, recognised as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. As you journey, soak in the desert vistas and absorb tales of Jordan’s rich past. This ancient city, carved into a sandstone valley by the Nabatean people over 2,000 years ago, is nestled 245 kilometres from Amman at the junction of historic trading routes, once a dominant force in ancient Arabia.Upon reaching Petra's main site, delve deeper into its fascinating history. On arrival, disembark from your vehicle and embark on a two-hour exploration of this UNESCO Heritage listed wonder with a local guide. Traverse through the renowned “Siq”, a narrow 1.2-kilometre path; a rock fissure that once served as the primary entrance to the city. Be awestruck by your first sight of the eerily beautiful Treasury “Al - Khazneh” as the canyon suddenly unfolds.Take time to appreciate this rose-pink architectural gem, originally constructed to safeguard priceless treasures, and be sure to capture it on camera. Then, continue through the expanding canyon to discover other landmarks such as the grand 3,000-seater Theatre, the Royal Tombs, and the Byzantine Church. As you wander, listen attentively as your guide explains how the Nabateans meticulously crafted these structures and adapted to the harsh desert conditions to establish their existence here.Afterwards, return to your vehicle and make a brief stop at Little Petra, a compact rocky valley adorned with carvings.
