Additional Information

Begin your journey from Amman to Petra, situated 140 miles (225 kilometers) to the south of Amman. Petra was a big player in the ancient Arabian trade pathways. Your exploration of this eerily attractive location starts with a stroll through the Siq, a slender trail that was the major access point to the city. The Siq is an incredibly lengthy, deep, and narrow canyon of immense natural charm. Enclosed by cliffs that reach 263 feet (80 meters) high, the Siq extends for three-quarters of a mile (1.2 kilometers).

  • Purchase the Jordan Pass in advance for discounted entry and access to other Jordanian attractions.

A World Treasure - Petra is all that it is shown to be in photos, but.... Allow enough time to explore it all. There's much more than the Treasury which appears on all the photos. A whole day would be good. Our Guide allowed only an hour! There is a 2km walk from the visitor centre to the treasury. An easy walk down through rock formations but a more difficult climb back up. Pony Carts are available ($20US pp) but need to be booked. Again our guide didn't book and we were left to negotiiate a ride back which cost $30 US pp one way. Petra is a 2-3 hr drive from Amman. There are hotels at Petra and in the nearby town.. The place itself is amazing but beware the trinket sellerss who are very pushy.
