You will be met at the port in Aqaba by your private guide to begin your tour. Drive to the ancient site of Petra (2-hour drive).
Travel on horseback to the siq (canyon), and then on foot to the remains of the ancient city. Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans from the 3rd century BCE to the 2nd century CE. Petra’s most elegant monument, El Khazneh (The Treasury) comes dramatically into view as you emerge from the siq. Beyond The Treasury an entire city is carved into the canyon walls.

Other outstanding structures include The Monastery and Urn Tomb. Wander through the field of tombs and obelisks to Al Madhbah (The Altar). From this point you can view the whole of the rock city.
Lunch on route.
You will be transferred back to the port in Aqaba to rejoin your cruise.
NOTE: There is approximately 4 to 5 miles of walking over uneven gravel and uneven packed sandy surfaces. There is a long, gradual decline/incline from the entrance of Petra to the Treasury and the Royal Tombs.

degrees warmer and sunny throughout the year.

A valid passport and visa are required for Americans to enter Jordan. Visas can be obtained upon entry unless crossing into Jordan from Israel at the Allenby Bridge border crossing, in which case you must get your visa in advance.

Conservative dress is recommended. It is best for both men and women to keep shoulders and legs fairly well covered. Loose, flowing garments in natural fibers (cotton, linen) are ideal for the heat. A sweater is advisable for the cool summer evenings or winter travel. Sun hat, sunglasses and plenty of fluids help to cope with the heat.
