  • Explore Petra c

    Mighty Petra was a strategic link in ancient caravan routes and is still stunningly preserved after nearly 2,000 years. Built by the Nabateans and later abandoned, it was lost to civilization for centuries until its re-discovery by a Swiss adventurer. The entire city is carved into the sides of a deep gorge, and the only entrance is through a narrow opening called the Siq. As your guide leads your small group of adventurers into Petra from between these 100-foot cliffs, a remarkable vista unfolds… Temples, tombs and dwellings chiseled out of the solid, rose-hued stone. Your unhurried full-day guided exploration includes the famous Treasury, the Roman Theater, the Temple of the Winged Lion and numerous other ancient monuments. Meals B

  • Into the Lands of Lawrence of Arabia and Back to Amman

    Depart Petra after breakfast and journey into the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, immortalized in the epic film, Lawrence of Arabia. Explore by 4WD vehicle in this remote region, where sandstone and granite mountains rise sheer-sided from wide sandy valleys to reach spectacular heights of 4,000 feet and more.

    Continue your journey back to Amman. Our tour services end at the airport for your onward journey. Or let our travel experts assist with arrangements to extend your stay in Amman… or anywhere in the Middle East. Meals B

An intinerary change requested when one of us became ill was handled without a problem. We loved the driver who took us from the Amman airport to our hotel and then picked us up in Petra for the drive to Amman. The trip was a great experience. Read More »

  • David from PA gives this tour 

    The hotel in Amman was not conveniently near other restaurant options. We like to walk to such from hotels to eating places. The breakfasts were outstanding, but we found the dinner we ate at the Landmark to be rather expensive. On the other hand, there were an abundance of good, local restaurants available within easy walking distance of the Crowne Plaza in Petra.
