After Madaba, a short drive will bring you to Mt. Nebo, the supposed burial site of Moses overlooking the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea.

Day 4: Petra

After breakfast, depart on a full day tour of Petra. Once the ancient Nabatean capital, this city gently reveals itself as you walk through its hand-carved facades.

Starting at the visitors centre, you will be assigned a horse, guided by a local Bedouin who will lead you to the once hidden entrance to the lost city.

After passing some tombs which are located outside the city, the visitor passes through the siq, an immense crack in the Nubian sandstone.

It is a winding, one-kilometer-long fissure between overhanging cliffs that seem to meet more than 300 feet overhead.

Near the end of the passage, the siq, with great style, makes one last turn and out of the gloom in towering brightness appears Petra’s most impressive monument, el Khazneh - The Treasury.

This is one of the most elegant remains of antiquity, carved out of the solid rock from the side of the mountain and is nearly 140 feet high and 90 feet wide.

Beyond el Khazneh the visitor is surrounded on both sides by hundreds of Petra’s carved and built structures, soaring temples, elaborate royal tombs, a carved Roman theater, large and small houses, burial chambers and much more.

The Victorian traveller and poet, Dean Burgon, gave Petra a description which holds to this day - “Match me such a marvel save in Eastern clime, a rose-red city half as old as time.”

Return to your hotel in Petra for overnight.

Overnight Petra. Breakfast included.
