Detailed itinerary

Travelers will explore the ancient city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs.
The experience begins at the Petra Visitor Center, where they will enjoy an included electric golf cart ride through the Siq.

This comfortable and effortless ride allows travelers to skip the long walk and fully appreciate the dramatic canyon walls as they approach the site.

At the end of the Siq, travelers will encounter the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), Petra’s most iconic landmark. They can take time to admire and photograph this stunning carved façade before continuing deeper into the archaeological site.

From there, travelers may explore the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, and the Theatre, discovering how the Nabataeans built a thriving trading center more than 2,000 years ago.

Guests are free to explore at their own pace, take photos, and enjoy the desert scenery before returning to the meeting point to conclude the visit.

After exploring Petra, the journey continues south to the dramatic desert landscape of Wadi Rum, known for its towering sandstone mountains and wide open valleys.

Upon arrival, travelers will set out on a guided 4x4 Jeep tour through the protected desert reserve. The route includes stops at some of Wadi Rum’s most scenic viewpoints and natural rock formations, offering opportunities to take photos, walk on the red sand dunes, and experience the stillness of the desert.

Travelers will learn about the region’s Bedouin heritage and how local communities continue to live in this unique environment. As the day progresses, the experience concludes with a sunset viewing, where the desert is illuminated in shades of gold, orange, and red.

After sunset, travelers return to their driver for the journey back to Amman.
