Visit Petra on this Short Break Adventure, the rose-hued fortress city carved into rock by the Nabataean people. Once the capital of a trading empire that dominated the deserts of modern Jordan, Petra showcases the achievements of this ancient Arab people. Explore the rock-cut architecture, float in the Dead Sea and see Jerusalem in the distance from Mt Nebo. This short trip is the ideal way to start off or round up a voyage to the Middle East.

Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk. AGE RESTRICTIONS: Age restrictions apply to this trip: minimum age 12. Anyone aged under 18 must be accompanied by (and share accommodation with) a parent or guardian.

Day 1 - Amman/Dead Sea/Petra
Ahlan o Sahlan! Welcome to Jordan. Your Short Break Adventure starts at 10 am when you’re picked up from your hotel in Amman and drive to Mt Nebo. When you’ve admired the Byzantine mosaics and the great views (which, on a clear day, extend all the way to the Palestinian Terriroties and Israel), you’ll head to the Dead Sea. Here, at the lowest point on Earth (420 m below sea level), the water is seven times saltier than the ocean. This means you’re extremely buoyant when swimming and will float on the water rather than in it. The mud here is said to have healing properties, and many visitors like to cover themselves from head to toe. Stop at a private beach with less salty pools and a gentle slope to the water – don't forget to pack your swimwear today! After lunch, drive to the mountains of Petra, where you’ll spend the night.
Day 2 - Petra
Today, you’ll explore Petra – a site that remained unknown to the Western world until 1812 when it was discovered by Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, a Swiss explorer. According to Arab tradition, Petra is where Moses struck a rock with his staff, and water came forth. You’ll learn all this and more from your local guide during a tour of the ancient city. The day starts with a walk through the narrow Siq to the fabulous Treasury. After admiring this iconic view, continue along the Roman road, passing several impressive tombs and the city's amphitheatre. If you’re feeling energetic, you can take the 800 steps to the Monastery. The evening is free for you to enjoy dinner in one of the many restaurants in the village.
Day 3 - Petra/Amman
Your Petra pass is still valid today, so you’re free to explore more of the ancient city at your own leisure. You must check out of the hotel by 10 am, but you can store luggage at reception while you roam. You’ll arrive back to the Art Hotel in Amman at approximately 4 pm, where your Short Break Adventure will come to an end. If you wish to spend more time here, just speak to your booking agent.
