From Amman: Full Day Trip to Petra and Wadi Rum

This private day tour will take you to the fascinating city of Petra and to the valley of Wadi Rum. The trip begins at your accommodation in Amman, where you’ll board a private, air-conditioned vehicle destined for Petra. The city is one of Jordan’s greatest treasure and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The UNESCO-listed 2,000-year-old city is carved into the Shara Mountains by Nabataenan communities and a masterpiece of ancient architecture.

After walking through the narrow chasm of the Siq, you’ll stand right in front of the iconic columns of the Treasury, one of Petra’s various tombs. Continue your way to other sights of the city such as the large Roman amphitheater, the triumphal arch of the Temenos Gateway, and the Street of Facades. Learn more about Nabataean traditions and the development of Petra from a hub of trade to a desolate city.

Then drive to Wadi Rum, a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan. Look forward to an exciting 2-hour Jeep tour. Visit Lawrence’s Spring named after Lawrence of Arabia who spend a considerable amount of time living in the area of Wadi Rum. Marvel at the Thamudic inscriptions and explore the Khazili Canyon. Experience the sunset between the sand dunes before you head back to your hotel.

You will be picked up from your hotel in Amman.
