Tour Overview

See some of the most significant historic sites in the world with this Petra and Jerusalem Combo trip. Petra is considered one of the 7 Wonders of the World. The city is known as the “rose-red city, half as old as time”. This is because Petra is home to the magnificent remnants of the Nabataean city, dating back to the 6th Century BC.

Once you reach the city, tour the Treasury, and see many carvings along the Street of Facades. Explore the Theater, Colonnaded Street, Byzantine Church, and the Petra Museum, with a collection of the very fine Nabatean pottery, ancient statuary and other artifacts. Learn about the religion of the Nabateans and understand what led to the creation of temples and cult centers on most of the mountain peaks ringing the Petra city center.
