3 DAYS AMMAN AND PETRA TOUR ITINERARY:
Day 1 - AMMAN Airport - Madaba - Nebo - Petra - Arrival Day
Upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, you will be met by
our English-speaking local representative who will assist you with getting your
visa, retrieving your bags, and passing through customs procedures. (Visas are
$15 USD for all nationalities, paid in cash upon arrival).
Afterwards, we will leave the Amman airport and driving southward toward Petra,
your first visit is to Madaba where the St George's Greek Orthodox Church has a
famous mosaic on the floor. Made during the 6th century AD, the mosaic shows the
pilgrimage from the surrounding areas to the Holy Land. You can even find Egypt
on this map!
Your next visit recalls the story of Moses and his journey to the Promised Land.
At Mount Nebo there is a Memorial for Musa (Moses) and a 4th century church
which Italian Franciscan priests excavated and restored in 1933. The panoramic
view overlooks the Jordan River Valley, the Dead Sea, Jericho and Jerusalem.
In the Bible story, Moses does not ever arrive at the Promised Land, but he is
able to see it from a distance before he dies. It is from Mount Nebo that one
can see it in the distance (on a clear day). It is also believed that this is
the burial place of Moses.
In the afternoon we will arrive your hotel in Petra and you will be given your
room key. The rest of the day is leisure. Overnight in Petra.
Day 2 - Petra City Tour and Short horse ride
(Breakfast included)
Today, you have the entire day to explore the Rose Red City of Petra. The city
is thought to have been first established in the 6th century BC by Nabataean
Arabs, a nomadic tribe who settled in the area and laid the foundations of a
commercial empire that extended into Syria. Despite successive attempts by the
Seleucid king Antigonus, the Roman emperor Pompey and Herod the Great to bring
Petra under the control of their respective empires.
Petra remained largely in Nabataean hands until around 100 AD, when the Romans
diverted to the north the caravan routes that had brought Petra its wealth. It
was still inhabited during the Byzantine period, when the former Roman Empire
moved its focus east to Constantinople, but declined in importance thereafter.
The Crusaders constructed a fort there in the 12th century, but soon withdrew,
leaving Petra to the local people until the early 19th century, when it was
visited by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.
The approach to Petra is unforgettable, made either on foot or horseback through
the Outer Siq and then on foot through the Siq itself. The Siq ends in an open
space which is dominated by the Treasury, Petra's most famous building. A local
guide will give a brief history of the city. You will also see Pharaoh's Castle,
the Triumphal Arch, the Amphitheater and Monastery before returning to your
hotel. Overnight in Petra.
