Per PersonDiscover Jordan’s most famous archaeological site on a Petra day tour from Amman. Travel south from the capital to Petra for a full-day visit to the legendary Rose-Red City, one of Jordan’s most important attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your journey begins with morning pickup from your hotel or agreed location in Amman. Your private vehicle then travels along the Desert Highway toward Petra in Wadi Musa. On arrival, enter the archaeological site and walk through the Siq, the dramatic narrow canyon that forms the main entrance to Petra.
At the end of the Siq, you will see the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), Petra’s most iconic rock-cut monument. Next, continue along the main archaeological trail and discover more of the ancient Nabataean city, including its rock-cut facades and the Theatre.
If you have sufficient time and fitness, you may continue farther into Petra. For example, longer walks can include the Monastery (Ad Deir) or the High Place of Sacrifice. However, these routes require additional walking and depend on the time available during your visit.
The standard program does not include a local guide or lunch. However, we can arrange a local guide upon request. Therefore, please confirm any additional services with Golden Star Travel & Events before the tour.
After your Petra visit, meet your driver and return to Amman. Finally, your driver will drop you off at your hotel or agreed location in the city.
