AMMAN TO PETRA
The Adventure Begins
A fascinating city of contrasts, Jordan’s capital city of Amman offers a unique blend of the old and the new. Today, explore this eclectic Middle Eastern hub with a private guide. Your experience includes stops at the fascinating Roman Theater and Nymphaeum that reflect the historic legacy of the city, and the enchanting Citadel which has stood since the ancient times of the Ammonites. Your introduction to Jordan’s rich heritage and culture is further enhanced by visits to the Archaeological and Folklore museums. Your private city tour can also be tailored to your personal interests. If it's shopping you're after, then the pedestrian Wakalat shopping district offers a wide selection of international brand names to choose from. For a more traditional experience, you may want to visit the old-downtown, also known as the ''Souq'', and take in the traditional sights and smells of the spice market.
Today, transfer from Amman to Petra. On your way, stop to explore the Shobak Castle. A lonely reminder of former Crusader glory, the castle sits less than an hour north of Petra. Tour this fascinating stronghold with your private guide. Once called "Mont Real", Shobak dates from the same turbulent period as Karak. It is perched on the side of a mountain, with a grand sweep of fruit trees below. The castle's exterior is impressive, with a forbidding gate and encircling triple wall. Despite the precautions of its builder, the fortress fell to Saladin only 75 years after it was raised. Inscriptions by his proud successors appear on the castle wall. Following your tour of Shobak continue on your way to Petra.
Enjoy some time at Siq Al-Barid (Little Petra), located to the north of Petra, only a 10 minute drive away. A classical temple stands guard outside the miniature siq which would appear to have been an important suburb of the city of Petra, situated at the point where several ancient caravan routes met, linking Wadi Araba with Gaza, Egypt and the Mediterranean coast. The narrow file, just over 1,100 feet long, is crammed with tombs, temples, triclinia, houses, water channels and cisterns. The surrounding area is picturesque and great for exploration.

PETRA
Cross an Item off the Bucket List
Cross an item off your bucket list on a private tour of the enchanting sandstone city of Petra. A treasure of the ancient world, the Rose City is full of mysterious charm that has attracted adventure seekers from all over the globe for many decades, and there is simply no better way to experience it than in the company of a private local guide. Today’s full day tour takes you south to Wadi Musa, the home of Petra nestled in the arid heart of Jordan. Journey back in time as you marvel at the remains of this Nabatean city painstakingly chiseled into rocky environment. After lunch, you will also get an opportunity to do some self-guided exploration of the site before heading back to your accommodation.
Far above Petra on a mountain summit, the Nabataeans carved out the High Place of Sacrifice, their most sacred open-air altar where they performed ritual killings of animals. The path to the altar includes obelisks dedicated to the kingdom's two main deities: Dushara, the god of strength, and al-Uzza, the goddess of water and fertility. Along with public worship, the Nabataeans also practiced private worship as evidenced by the shrines and niches cut into the surrounding rock face. They continued to practice this religion for hundreds of years, but by the early fourth century they had adopted Christianity as their main religion.
Complete your Petra experience with a visit to the Petra Night Show. Exploring this marvel of Nabatean architecture while it’s lit up by over 1,500 candles is a truly enchanting, must-do experience when in Jordan. Stroll down a glowing path through the Siq to The Treasury, and enjoy a performance featuring entrancing Bedouin music.

Head into the desert today for a thrilling off-road tour perched up in the back of a specially-modified truck, traveling through the monolithic moonscape of Wadi Rum; discover the valleys and gorges that hide tales of human presence dating back millennia and feel enchanted by the sweeping red dunes of Arabia.
