Petra and Wadi Rum Day Excursion with Hotel Collection [22721P96]
Explore two of Jordan’s remarkable gems: the stunning World Wonder of Petra and the beautiful desert scenery of Wadi Rum.
Head over to Petra, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its beautifully carved ruins that dazzle in vibrant hues of red, white, and pink sandstone. This incredible place was founded around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataeans, a nomadic tribe that made this enchanting region their home. You'll love exploring attractions like Al-Siq, the Treasury, the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, and the Pharaoh’s Castle—all waiting for you to discover!
Later in the day, head towards Wadi Rum, aptly named the Valley of the Moon. This protected area is famous for its breathtaking desert wilderness, featuring towering mountains of sandstone and granite that rise dramatically from the landscape.
Complete your journey by heading back to Amman, where you can gaze at the starlit sky over Jordan’s enchanting desert landscapes.
