Day 3 09/22/2023
Breakfast at the hotel. Full day dedicated to visiting Petra, considered one of the seven wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The long-lost city of Petra, carved entirely by man into the pinkish-red sandstone rocks, challenges your imagination. It is a mystical and glorious place, an eternal tribute to a lost civilization. Petra was the central meeting point of the spice routes of the Nabataeans, who came from the Persian Gulf, Western Arabia, and the Red Sea. About two thousand years ago Petra became the capital of the Nabataean empire. The natural richness of the mountainous area combines superbly with the refined culture and massive architecture of the Nabataeans, who carved their theater, temples, facades, tombs, monasteries, and house streets entirely in the pinkish-red sandstone rocks. You will walk through the Canyon that leads to the famous " treasure " and then visit the entire rock city. Possibility, for those who wish, to reach the Monastery, to do so you will have to climb about 900 steps: the undertaking is arduous but worth the thought. Lunch on the hike. At the end of the visit transfer to the Wadi Rum desert, a place rich in history and magic, in time to watch the sunset. Accommodation in the reserved tents in the tented camp. Traditional dinner and Overnight stay.
