The experience

Your guide meets you and leads you into the Siq, the narrow canyon that opens onto the Treasury: the carved facade that stops most visitors mid-step. From there you walk the Street of Facades, where rows of tombs rise from the cliff face, then move through the theater carved into the hillside and the Royal Tombs. The route continues to the Great Temple and Qasr Al Bint, the temple at Petra's center. A licensed guide in English walks the whole route with you, pointing out details and answering questions as you go.

The tour runs 2.5 hours and covers the main monuments most first-time visitors want to see. Strollers and prams work for infants and small children. The route is suitable for all fitness levels. Service animals are welcome. You can arrange private transportation as an add-on, or use public transit to reach the site entrance.

Is this one for you?You're booking a private tour, so the guide is yours alone and the pace is yours to set: stop as long as you want at any monument, ask questions without waiting for a group, and move faster or slower depending on what interests you. This works best if you want someone who knows the site to walk with you and explain what you're seeing, rather than exploring on your own or joining a shared group.

What exactly is the Treasury at Petra?

The Treasury (Al-Khazneh) is a massive carved facade rising from the canyon floor at the end of the Siq: a 40-meter-high temple carved directly into the rose-colored sandstone, built in the 1st century as a royal monument. It's the most photographed structure at Petra and the first major sight on the tour.

How much walking is involved in this tour?

The 2.5-hour tour covers the main highlights on foot through the canyon and across the site. The terrain is uneven in places, but the route is suitable for all fitness levels, and you can bring a stroller for small children if needed.

Is entrance to Petra included in the tour price?

Entrance fees to Petra are optional and added at checkout. You choose whether to include them when you book. Your guide is included. The site entry is separate.

Can I arrange a ride to Petra, or do I need my own transport?

Private transportation is available as an optional add-on at checkout. Public transit options also run to the site entrance if you prefer to use those instead.

What's the difference between the Siq and the Street of Facades?

The Siq is the narrow, winding canyon carved through the rock that leads into Petra. It's the dramatic entrance route. The Street of Facades is the open area inside Petra where rows of carved tombs line the cliffs on both sides, and it's where you walk after emerging from the Siq.
