Day 3 - Petra

Today, visit the incredible the amazing rose-red city of Petra.

The ancient city of Petra was built from 800 BC to 100 AD by Nabetean Arabs. In this era Petra was a fortress, carved out of craggy rocks in an area which was virtually inaccessible. In the first and second century, after the Romans took over, the city reached the peak of its fame.  Petra covers an area of about 100 square km where over 800 monuments can be found. When shipping slowly displaced caravan routes, the city's importance gradually dwindled; it fell into disuse and was lost to the world until 1812, when it was re-discovered by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. Today Petra is Jordan's number one tourist attraction, known as the "rose-red city half as old as time". The Khazneh (the Treasury) even starred in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

A buffet lunch will be served at the Basin restaurant, inside the Petra complex.

This evening, a cocktail reception will be arranged for the group in Little Petra. This will be held at the inner monument and will then be followed by a spectacular surprise seated dinner at the outer monument. Entertainment will be provided by the Petra Folklore Troop.

Day 4 - Petra - Wadi Rum - Dead Sea

After breakfast and check-out, set out for a 2-hour drive to Wadi Rum. Your luggage will be sent separately in a luggage truck.

Otherwise known as the Valley of the Moon, the landscape of Wadi Rum with its immensity, colour and awe-inspiring shapes creates an almost supernatural atmosphere. This was the setting for the film Lawrence of Arabia, and the actual location where T.E. Lawrence set his camp. His book "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" was named after the seven natural columns varying in height located en route to Wadi Rum. Bedouin camps are evident in the Wadi, which is still home to a number of Bedouin families who welcome visitors with the hospitality and generosity that Bedouins are so famous for.

Explore the desert with a 4x4 driven by a local Bedouin. Afterwards, enjoy a Bedouin buffet lunch at the tented camp. 

On arrival at the Dead Sea after lunch, you will check in and have the remainder of the afternoon at leisure to enjoy the resort.

An international buffet dinner will be served this evening at the hotel's main restaurant.
