Petra: A day tour from Wadi Rum to Petra is without a doubt Jordan’s most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction. It is a unique city, carved into the sheer rock face 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.

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.
