The red rose rock city Petra is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This ancient wonder is the biggest attraction of Jordan and was first established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataean Arabs. This nomadic tribe settled in the area and laid the foundation of a commercial empire that extended into Syria. Walk on your own – or if selected with your private local guide – through the canyon, the Siq, ending in front of the most beautiful monument: The Treasury. Following the main trail you see other colourful sandstone buildings like the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh’s Castle. It is also worth it to climb the 800 stairs to the mighty Monastery El Deir, the path winds up just behind the restaurant area. El Deir is not included in the standard guided tour, but it is easy to follow the path on your own. Return via the main trail to the entrance gate.

First trip to Petra and couldn't fault the experience. The driver was on time, very polite and told me that if i needed to stop at any time for food/drinks etc it would not be a problem. The guide i had waiting for me spoke perfect english, was very informative and never seemed to try and rush me. He also gave alot of insight such as the history, the meaning behind certain parts and what other routes i could take on my way back that would not be too long. Is a great place to visit but be warned, there will be ALOT of people trying to sell you goods such as clothing, jewels, donkey rides and to guide people on non approved paths etc I was told just to say "no thank you" and that seemed to workThe drive from the dead sea, Jordan side is about 3 hours. it is up hill and made us a bit car sick.

The drive from the dead sea, Jordan side is about 3 hours. it is up hill and made us a bit car sick. Petra itself is huge, it is actually a city. The building that i often depicted is the what they call the treasury, but there are many similar carvings. Many were grave sites. Wear comfortable shoes, it is basically an old city along a trade route and the walk is hilly, rocky and long. The 5 miles is the minimum. there are parts where you can hike up the mountain to see up close to carvings or panoramic views.Our guide knew all the secret paths and how to get the most out of the tour. He got great pictures. Be ready for an active hike. If your are not in top condition, take the donkey up to the temple! I'm not kidding! But walk down.

Jerusalén muy bonita toda la historia y es fácil entrar al país, las personas son muy amables, el mar muerto es algo único que se tiene que visitar nuestro conductor nos ayudo a tener una muy bonita experiencia, Petra es algo indescriptible, nos toco que nevara y siempre el chofer muy atento en todo, Gerasa es algo único que no logras entender como podían llegar a construirlo en su tiempo y nuestro conductor nos lo mostró de la mejor manera, nuestro conductor OQBA fue siempre muy atento, Bueno y el mejor compañero que pudimos tener se lo recomendamos mucho muy linda persona y siempre lo recordaremos se esforzó tanto por darnos un buen servicio que nos llevó a conocer los Boulevards de Jordania como extra, gracias por todo OQBA.

Tayseer had been designated our driver from Amman to the Dead Sea a couple of days before. We had no expectations before we met as it had been booked for us. What we learned about Jordan through Tayseer's eyes and stories in such a short commute made us book for the Dead Sea to Petra tour with him! It has been such a pleasure to learn all the interesting facts from Tayseer in such a passionate way. The provided car was great too! Highly recommended
