Petra

Excursions to Petra —

destination for most travelers in Jordan and holidaymakers in the Dead Sea resorts.

Don't miss the chance to see the main UNESCO World Heritage site in Jordan. Lost in the rocks, the "pink city" is completely made of stone, the like of which was not in the entire Roman Empire.

In 2007, Petra was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The territory of Petra stretches for several kilometers and includes the ruins of numerous stone buildings, a grandiose rock temple, which takes your breath away, and a rock monastery carved on top of a cliff. The path to the heart of Petra passes through a narrow gorge, on the sides of which natural 60-meter cliffs rise.

The ancient city, once the capital of the Nabataean kingdom, in its recent history has repeatedly become a place of exciting adventures: pink rocks and structures lit up in films about Sinbad, Indiana Jones, transformers and several other famous films.


During the tour you will see the Siq Gorge, the main street with a colonnade, the temple-mausoleum of Al-Khazna (translated as “Treasury of the Pharaoh”).

Dear friends, I will be glad to show you the ancient city and tell you all the most interesting things about the main attraction of Jordan! The offer for field trips to Petra is relevant for various resorts in the region.
