About this activity

Morning pick up from your Dead Sea resort or your hotel in Amman(we suggest you start at 7 or 8 in the morning) in a modern air-conditioned vehicle with a friendly and informed driver, drive south to Petra (drive time is 3 hours). Upon reaching Petra, you will be introduced to your professional guide (if option selected), and then start your guided tour, beginning with a walk through the long and winding Siq, until you catch your first glimpse of the impressive and imposing treasury, and marvel at impossible architecture that is over 2000 years old. Continue through the Street of Facades, the Roman Theater, the Royal Tombs till you reach Qasr Al Bint at the end of the colonnaded street, at which point your guided tour ends and you can either walk back to the gate to meet your driver for the voyage back, or spend some free time to relax or explore on your own before walking back to the gate and drive back to your resort.
