About this experience
Experience two of Jordan’s treasures: the stunning World Wonder Petra and the picturesque desert landscapes of Wadi Rum.
Spend a full day in Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with beautiful,
carved, vibrant red, white, and pink sandstone ruins. Petra was first established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataeans, a nomadic tribe who settled in the Area and laid the foundations there. Explore Al-Siq, the Treasury, the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, and Pharaoh’s Castle.
Later at night, head towards Wadi Rum, known as the Valley of the Moon. Wadi Rum is a protected area of dramatic desert wilderness. Huge mountains of sandstone and granite emerge and collide. Relax around the campfire as you watch the Milky Way and the starry night sky, and stay overnight in a Bedouin tent.
Spend the next day in this sweeping desert and admire the brilliantly colored sands and stark rock formations. Hike through the wilderness with the chance to explore the area in a jeep safari.
