The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Amman and a drive south to Petra, about 140 miles away. Upon arrival at the Petra Visitors Center, the driver assists with ticket purchase and optional local guide booking to enhance understanding of the site. Inside Petra, the walk through the Siq leads to the Treasury, a large rock-carved monument notable for its detailed Corinthian facade. The visit continues along the Street of Facades, a row of Nabataean tombs, followed by stops at the Royal Tombs including the Urn Tomb, Silk Tomb, Corinthian Tomb, and Palace Tomb. Later, the group explores Pharaoh’s Castle (Qasr al-Bint), a well-preserved temple, and sees other important ruins such as the Theatre and the Great Temple. The guided or self-guided visit lasts several hours, allowing time to view these key archaeological sites. After the exploration, the tour returns to Amman by air-conditioned vehicle. The overall trip lasts between 8 and 11 hours and includes private transportation with hotel pickup and drop-off, entrance fees, bottled water, on-board WiFi, and an English-speaking driver. A local guide at Petra is available if selected. Meals and gratuities are not included.
