The city is one of the New 7 Wonders. Inhabited since prehistoric times, this Nabataean caravan-city, situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, was an important crossroads between Arabia, Egypt, and Syria-Phoenicia. Petra is half-built, half-carved into the rock, and is surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges. It is one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with Hellenistic architecture, set against a dominant red sandstone landscape.
Shobak Castle is a Crusader castle expanded by the Mamluks, on the eastern side of the Arabah Valley, perched on the side of a rocky, conical mountain. The ruins are located next to the modern town of Shobak.

Trip Description

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Amman or Queen Alia International Airport. Embark on a scenic drive along the historic Desert Highway.
Arrive at Shobak Castle, a medieval fortress perched on a hilltop overlooking the Wadi Musa valley. Explore the ruins, including the keep, towers, and bailey, and visit the castle’s two churches. Enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Next, head to Petra, the ancient Nabataean city carved entirely out of stone. Walk through Al-Siq, a stunning natural gorge, and marvel at the Treasury, “Al-Khazneh,” intricately carved into the mountain rock face. Continue your exploration to other significant monuments, including the Altar of Sacrifice, the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, and the Roman Theater.
