Travel back in time with a visit to the ancient Rose City of the desert. Ride through a narrow gorge on horseback to discover Petra, a millennia-old metropolis carved into the rock.
At the scheduled time on the morning of your tour, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Amman ready for your adventure into the desert in the south of Jordan.
We'll reach Petra between 7:30 and 8 am. This ancient rock-cut city, originally known as Raqmu, was a thriving trading hub and the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom dating back as early as the 5th century BC.
Immerse yourself in the incredible desert scenery on horseback. You'll feel just like Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade! Riding through the narrow gorges that snake between towering rock faces, you'll reach the iconic Treasury or Al Khazneh, the best-known structure in the Petra archaeological complex, an elaborate temple that is believed to have been a royal mausoleum.
During the visit, you'll learn about the history of the Napataen people and the importance of Petra during Roman rule. The guided tour will last approximately three to four hours.
Afterwards, you can take a well-earned break and enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant.
Feeling refreshed, you'll then make your way back to your hotel in Amman, where you'll arrive 12 hours after pickup.
When making your booking, you can choose between the tour with or without a ticket to the archaeological site of Petra. Please note that the ticket to visit this archaeological site in Jordan costs approximately 71USD per person.
For this activity to go ahead, a minimum of 2 adult participants is required. An adult and a child, for example, would not be taken into account.
