Visit Petra

Driver to the Nabatean Red Rose City of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, for a classic visit. As you travel, gaze at the desert landscapes and hear tales of Jordan’s history. Hewn into a sandstone valley carved by the Nabataean people some 2,000 years ago, this ancient rose-red rock city located 125 kilometers from Aqaba at the crossroads of age-old trading routes, to dominate ancient Arabia. Continue to Petra main site to learn more about its magnificent history.

On arrival, leave your vehicle, and enjoy a 2-hour tour of this UNESCO Heritage listed wonder with a local guide. First, walk through the famous “Siq”, a narrow path of 1.2 kilometers; rock fissure that was once the main entrance to the city, and marvel at your first glimpse of the hauntingly beautiful Treasury “El - Khazneh” as the canyon suddenly opens up. Admire this rose-pink masterpiece, originally built to house priceless treasures and capture it on camera. Then, proceed through the widening canyon to witness other monuments such as the 3,000-seater Theater, the Royal Tombs, and the Byzantine Church. As you explore, listen as your guide describes how the Nabateans sculpted the buildings, and learn how they mastered the harsh desert conditions to make their lives here. After around two hours of exploring, enjoy free time. If time permits you can climb up the Monastery on your own or the High Place of Sacrifice: a clifftop altar that was once used for animal sacrifices and other ceremonies. Free time to visit the Petra Museum; if there is time.

Petra, the ancient city carved into rose-colored sandstone, is a must-see for any visitor to Jordan. Opting for a one-day trip with Map Tours proved to be a surprisingly efficient and enjoyable way to experience this wonder. Map Tours handled all the logistics seamlessly. The pick-up from our hotel was punctual, the transport comfortable, and the entire itinerary well-structured. This allowed us to focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about details. Map Tours provided a fantastic experience for visitors who want to see Petra in a single day. Their efficient organization, knowledgeable guide, and comfortable transportation made the long journey worthwhile. While a longer visit is recommended for a more in-depth experience, this tour is perfect for those with limited time, allowing them to tick this iconic destination off their travel list with ease. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of Petra. He provided insightful commentary throughout the day, enriching our understanding of the site and its fascinating past. His passion for the subject was infectious. Highly recommended for a convenient and informative one-day trip to Petra.
