WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15 – PETRA
The Treasurey, Petra
This morning we will tour the city of Petra. Lost to the world for centuries in the mountains of southern Jordan, this “rose-red city half as old as time,” was discovered by the Swiss explorer Burkhardt in 1812. Once it was a stronghold and capital for the Nabateans, but fell to Rome in 106 A.D. Travel part of the way on horseback and the rest on foot through the deep and narrow passage known as the siq. As the siq opens onto the ancient city, the magnificent Treasury appears immediately in front of you, an awesome start to an unforgettable experience. Now we begin our exploration of what both the Nabateans and Romans left for us to witness. The most adventurous will be invited to hike up to the spiritual “High Place,” site of the sacrificial alter, which offers a spectacular view of the ancient city and surroundings. Return to our hotel for overnight.
Evening: Enjoy a special Petra by Night tour. This event is a magical way to see part of the rock city by candlelight and explore the old city, which has become a world wonder. The incomparable experience starts by walking the entire Siq to the Treasury, lit with over 1,500 candles.
