Today is dedicated to discovering the magnificent ancient city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Begin your journey by walking through the narrow, winding Siq—a dramatic canyon that opens up to reveal the awe-inspiring Treasury, Petra’s most iconic monument. Continue your exploration along the Street of Facades, past the grand Theater, and down the Colonnaded Street, where temples and marketplaces once thrived.
After lunch inside the archaeological site, you’ll have time to venture deeper into Petra. Choose to hike up to the Monastery, a massive and equally impressive structure perched high in the hills, or ascend to the High Place of Sacrifice for sweeping views of the valley below. While both routes involve considerable climbing, the stunning vistas and ancient carvings make the effort truly worthwhile.
Following your day of adventure, return to your hotel in Petra to relax and spend the night.
