The drive to Petra takes us by Wadi Rum and the remarkable desert scenery where 'Lawrence of Arabia' was filmed. During the journey we have a briefing on the history of Jordan, it's culture and the various sights along the route. At Petra we leave our vehicle and enter the ancient site. The traditional entrance to Petra is the imposing and beautiful Siq Canyon which in itself is one of the main attractions in Petra. We pass the Silica Quarries, The Jinn Blocks and the first major site of Petra; The Obelisk Tomb. At the entrance to the Siq we see the beginning of Petra's ingenious water system and ancient arch. The walk through the Siq takes approximately 1/2 hour and then the breathtaking and monumental experience of first stepping foot inside Petra is upon us. Counted as one of the wonders of the world, Petra is an archaeological, anthropological and geological phenomenon. Your guide will share with you the legends, truths and myths of this astonishing city. The walk through Petra is made easy by the endless sights and fascinating facts. All of which bring to life a history as colorful as the sandstone rock from which it was carved. Having explored the highlights of Petra, we stop at a restaurant within Petra to enjoy a hearty buffet lunch. Following lunch we begin the walk back to our vehicle - for this final walk participants may choose to hire the services of the local donkey, camel and carriage drivers. We rejoin our vehicle for the return journey to Eilat and arrive by evening.
