A visit to Jordan is not complete without seeing Petra, Jordan’s most famous landmark and valuable treasure. One of the new 7 Wonders of the World, it is a sprawling ancient city carved into sheer rock by the Nabataeans, who settled there more than 2000 years ago, turning it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes.

The Amman – Petra – Amman route runs daily.

Highlights

The Nabatean city of Petra is undoubtedly Jordan's most illustrious historical sight. The 2,000-year-old rock-carved city is surrounded by hundreds of breathtaking structures including soaring temples, elaborate royal tombs, a carved Roman-style theater, burial chambers, and funerary banqueting halls. Other well-preserved relics include baths, staircases, markets, arched gates, and paved streets, in addition to hidden treasures such as the sprawling monastery (Al-Deir), and the High Place of Sacrifice. Petra is in south Jordan, a few miles west of Wadi Musa, about a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Amman.
