Highlights

You will be met by your private English speaking chauffeur, who will be holding up a sign under you name. You will depart to Petra in a private air conditioned vehicle at 6:30 am.

Your guide will meet you in Petra for approximate 4 hours tour that will take you all the way to the monastery . Next you will set off to explore the hidden city. After the main gate you start to see different shapes of façades, before you enter the siq (the gorge); which is the highlight of Petra. Once you reach the treasury (al khazneh), the real tour begins. You will think that is the first monument in the city, however as you descend down, and see more façades through the street of façades, then the theater; which could be the beginning of the city. A few minutes, to enter the residential part as you see remains of houses everywhere, before you get through the cardo (the Roman street). After you finish from (down town) Petra, get ready for the big climb to the monastery.

After four hours, the tour concludes at the basin area where you have your lunch (included in the price), you will have free time to return back to the main gate of Petra on your own (allow for 1 hours and 30 minutes maximum). You will then be returned to your Dead Sea hotel.

Amazing Experience - Kind, Courteous, Professional Staff - The driver picked us up on time and was very courteous and kind. We had not planned a driver for the rest of our journey and he personally arranged it for us. Thanks goodness he asked us our travel arrangements! The driver parked the car and walked us into Petra so we could meet up with our tour guide. I'm so glad we booked a tour guide! He was so kind and knowledgable. We would have walked past so many important artifacts without his guidance. He also helped us take the best pictures. Lunch is included and it was a nice respite from the walking. Then we continued up to the Monastery which was kind of a hike. About half way through, we took a break and sat with his welcoming friends who made us tea while we admired the view. Once we reached the top, we had a nice little break and then he helped us down the slippery parts of the path and back to the center where our driver was waiting for us to take us to our hotel. I highly recommend this driver and tour guide. We could not have been more pleased. Thank you for an amazing trip that we will always remember!

Brillient experience - It is a briliient and wonderful tour, I highly recommand it. The programme is planned very well and it covered quite a few great sites. And the guider is very nice. The only small setback is that the little bus is not very much comfortable....although it is ok.
