A huge number of tombs were constructed here over a period of 500 years, from the 16th century BC to the 11th century BC. Archeologists have discovered more than 70 tombs in this area, all of which belonged to pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom. The tombs range from basic pit-like structures, to complex tombs containing as many as 120 chambers.

At the agreed time, you will again be picked up from your hotel, and then you will be driven to Petra which is about a 2.5 hour drive.

Petra, also often referred to as the Rose Red City, was established by the Arab Nabateans, a nomadic tribe, sometime during the 6th century BC. The Nabateans carved their new city into the rock of the Jordan Desert, and it was from here that they were able to establish a powerful commercial empire which would eventually reach all the way to Syria.

On arrival at Petra, your first walk will lead you to the canyon, which is officially called the Siq, and you pass between towering rock formations, some reaching more than 80 meters above you. Next, you will move on to see the most striking monument at the site, the Treasury. After some time exploring the Treasury, you will move on to see the Street of Facades; the Royal Tombs, and finally Pharaoh’s Castle.
