Jordan Trips

Follow in the footsteps of ancient merchants to Petra on a voyage of discovery and intrigue. Easily rivalling Machu Picchu as a contender for the world’s most astounding lost city, Petra is like nowhere else on earth. The Nabateans’ capital city was carved into the rose-gold sandstone of what some scholars believe to be the slopes of Mount Sinai more than 2,000 years ago. It was an important stop on the intercontinental silk and spice trade routes, until it was abandoned in 663 when the Arabs invaded.

Join our Local Specialist on a walk through the Siq gorge between 80-meter-high cliffs, which leads into the city. Then come face to face with the mighty Al-Khazneh, (The Treasury), a 43-meter-high king’s tomb. As well as colonnaded streets, temples, a theatre and a monastery, the site has two museums where you can learn more about its history and excavation.
