The experience

The drive from Dead Sea to Petra takes three hours, and your guide meets you at the site to lead you through the Rose-Red City. You hike or ride a horse down to the entrance of the Siq, the long winding sandstone canyon that opens onto the Treasury. From there the tour continues through the Street of Facades, past the Roman Theater and up to the Royal Tombs. Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The ruins were hidden from most of the world until 1812, when a Swiss explorer disguised as an Arab scholar found his way in.

After Petra, you drive another hour and a half to Wadi Rum to catch the sunset over the desert before heading back to your hotel. The tour runs in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and ten other languages, depending on availability. If your requested language is not available, the tour will be conducted in English. Private transportation and an air-conditioned vehicle are included. Specialized infant seats are available, and all areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible.
