The scale and workmanship of Petra's monuments and the remarkable nature of site itself are something one can only grasp by visiting the ancient city. Our tour offers you two full days to explore and discover one of the most exciting archaeological sites on earth.
As this region has always offered the best passable route between the Phoenician ports and the great cities to the north and Arabia to the south, control over trade brought great wealth to those who lived here. Petra is a lasting monument to this period of affluence.
The majesty of the geology surrounding our destinations only adds to their atmosphere - whether we are visiting Petra, the colonnaded streets of Jerash, the church on Mount Nebo, the mosaic map at Madaba or the painted baths in the desert at Amra.
The dramatic landscapes are those of the Bible stories - Mount Nebo, where Moses looked down upon the Promised Land; Lot’s cave, where he lived with his daughters after his wife had been turned to salt, and where a church was built in the 6th century to mark the spot; and Gadara (Umm Qais), home of the infamous swine.
