Today is the crown jewel of your Petra Jordan tour — a full day exploring one of the New Seven Wonders of the World with your professional licensed guide.

Continue deeper into the ancient Nabataean city, discovering the Royal Tombs, the Colonnaded Street, and other monumental rock-cut structures that tell the story of one of antiquity’s most remarkable civilizations. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace — hike up to the impressive Monastery (Al-Deir) for sweeping desert views, or opt for a traditional camel or donkey ride through the Archaeological Park.

In the afternoon, depart and drive back north to Amman. As the sun sets over the Jordanian desert, reflect on a truly extraordinary day — the centrepiece of any Petra Jordan tour. Overnight in Amman.
