Petra and Wadi Rum Tour
From 200 $ Per Person
Immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the Middle East with a visit to Jordan, a land renowned for its ancient history and cultural treasures. This journey takes you to the iconic sites of Petra and Wadi Rum, beginning with Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Enter through the Siq, a stunning narrow canyon framed by towering rock formations, leading to the breathtaking entrance of this rose-red city. Partially carved into the cliffs and surrounded by rugged mountains, Petra showcases the ingenuity of ancient civilizations. Its sophisticated water management systems enabled thriving settlements in this arid region during the Nabataean, Roman, and Byzantine eras, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy of architecture and innovation.
Explore the captivating site of Little Petra, also known as Al Beidha, which shares remarkable similarities with Petra. Like its larger counterpart, Little Petra is nestled behind a narrow canyon, known as the Cold Siq, offering a passageway to its ruins. While smaller than Petra’s Siq, this passage is equally enchanting, requiring visitors to hike through to reach the site. The surrounding cliffs, sculpted by wind erosion, create fascinating natural formations. Scattered across the area, remnants of broken tablets dating back to the Neolithic period add a layer of ancient intrigue to this lesser-known yet significant archaeological gem.
Your second destination of the day is the breathtaking Wadi Rum, a 74,000-hectare expanse designated as a UNESCO mixed natural and cultural site. Located in southern Jordan near the Saudi border, Wadi Rum boasts a diverse desert landscape featuring narrow gorges, natural arches, towering cliffs, vast sand dunes, and ancient caverns. Immerse yourself in the full desert experience with a thrilling jeep safari tour at sunset, followed by a magical evening under the stars. Enjoy the warmth of Bedouin hospitality, complete with a lively party and traditional celebrations, making your night in Wadi Rum truly unforgettable.
