Day 5 : Petra
Petra is undoubtedly one of the world's most iconic and awe-inspiring destinations. It's no wonder that it is often included in people's travel bucket lists and has been recognized as one of the 'New7Wonders of the World'. The ancient city, which was once lost to the world, is a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of the Nabateans, who carved elaborate buildings and tombs into the rose-red rock. The narrow Siq, a dramatic canyon that leads to the iconic Treasury, is a must-see sight, and the whole area is steeped in history and mystery. Your guide will take you on a journey through Petra's past, exploring the ancient Roman road, amphitheater, and tombs, before leaving you with free time to explore the site at your leisure. Don't miss the chance to climb up to the Monastery, carved into the mountain summit, for a breathtaking view of the entire area. This is a truly unforgettable day that will leave a lasting impression on you.
