DAY 03: FULL DAY TOUR OF PETRA:
 
After Breakfast, depart the hotel for a full day tour of Petra, the soul-stirring, rose-red city of Petra is a Jordanian national treasure and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Petra was an ancient Nabataean capital and was settled by these industrious Arab traders more than 2,000 years ago.  Petra?s unique location enabled the Nabataeans to dominate the ancient Arabian trade routes, and the city became wealthy from the tolls it levied on the caravans that sheltered there with their precious cargoes of spices, silks, ivory and animal hides.  

 In the ancient world, Petra was renowned for its refined culture, massive architecture, and ingenuous system of dams and water channels.  In the years following the Emperor Trajan?s annexation of Petra, the city declined and slipped into obscurity until it was ?discovered? in 1812 by a Swiss traveler.  Excavations that revealed the astounding workmanship and the incredible ruins at Petra did not begin until 1924, and continue to reveal more information about the Nabataean Kingdom.

 

Petra still forms part of the domain of the Bedouin, and you will see them with their horses and camels as you begin your unforgettable trip into this cultural landmark.  After passing tombs outside the city, you come to the ?Siq?, an immense crack in the Nubian sandstone almost one half mile long.  This winding fissure separates overhanging cliffs that appear to meet 300 feet overhead.  Near the end of the passage, the Siq makes one last turn with great style, and out of the gloom Petra's most impressive monument Al Khazneh (The Treasury) appears in the towering brightness.  One of the most elegant remains of antiquity, out of the, Al Khazneh is nearly 140 feet high and was carved from the mountain?s solid rock in the First Century B.C. Originally used as a Namataean king?s tomb, scholars believe Al Khazneh was later used as Nabataean temple.  Film buffs will recognize it from its starring role in the final scenes of the movie ?Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.? 

 

Beyond el Khazneh you are surrounded on both sides by hundreds of Petra's curved and built structures, soaring temples, elaborate royal tombs, a curved Roman theater (seating 3,000), large and small houses, burial chambers, banquet halls, water channels and reservoirs, bathes, monumental staircases, cultic installations, markets, arched gates public buildings and paved streets, after the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Petra for overnight ( B / - / - ).
