Egypt – Day 14
Ancient City of Petra
Today’s Itinerary
Today you will enjoy a full-day tour of Petra. For the first two hours, you’ll have a private guide with you to show you the city’s main highlights and tell you all about the ancient city’s history and the lives of those who made it their home, after which you have some time to explore further on your own.
Breakfast at the hotel
Petra is the treasure of the ancient world, and the rock-carved rose-red city is full of mysterious charm. It was first established around the 6th century B.C. by the Nabataean Arabs, a nomadic tribe who settled in the area and laid the foundation of a commercial empire that extended into Syria. You will pass the canyon, the Siq, to see the most beautiful monument of the Treasury. Continue via the Street of Facades to the Royal Tombs and Pharaoh’s Castle.
Get Some Sleep!
