The tour makes an early start for the three hour drive south to the Nabatean Rose-Red City of Petra. Considered by many to be one of the wonders of the world, Petra is a city that was carved from stone more than 2000 years ago. Built to dominate the trade routes of ancient Arabia, it is an amazing combination of carved towns, damns and water channels. You will enter via the main entrance of the city, by walking (or horse riding is optional) the awesome siq, a narrow fissure of 1. 2 kilometers winding between overhanging cliffs that seem to meet over 300 feet overhead. Near the end of the siq, you will make the last turn and out of the darkness you will emerge in the towering brightness to catch your first breathtaking glimpse of Petra's most impressive monument, the Khazneh, which was believed to hold countless treasures. The tour continues with more exquisite monuments, including the monastery and the altar of sacrifice. To see some of the monuments you will need to you will have to work hard for the honor by climbing almost 1000 stairways! Therefore, comfortable shoes and a lot of water are a must for such an incredible and unforgettable adventure. |
