Little Petra and Petra: Day Trip from Amman

About This Experience

Begin your adventure straight from the hotel lobby or Amman airport with a stop at Little Petra in Wadi Musa, Jordan. This tiny slice of Nabatean history is located in intricately carved cave facades within a narrow canyon. Take a leisurely kilometer walk to Baidha, a pre-pottery Neolithic site and one of the earliest known agricultural settlements. Then, travel off-road through Baidha's wilderness, passing fields and orchards, until you reach the vibrant canyon of Wadi Meruan. The next stop is the beautiful rock city of Petra in Wadi Musa. Explore this ancient Nabatean capital on a self-guided tour or with a local guide. Once a dominant hub on Arabian trade routes, Petra is a must-see Middle Eastern gem. Traverse the Siq, a narrow gorge revealing colorful sandstone, leading to the scenic Treasury. Walk down the Street of Facades, witnessing the Royal Tombs, the Theater, and Qasr Al Bint.
