A full day to discover the rock-hewn ruins of ancient Petra – Jordan’s foremost tourist attraction. Once the capital of the Nabataean Arabs who controlled the lucrative trade routes between Arabia and the Mediterranean coast, Petra or ‘Rekem’ as it was called by the Nabataeans, was ‘lost’ to the outside world for a thousand years until its rediscovery in 1812. The site is approached through a hairline crack in the mountain known as the Siq, then on emerging into the ancient city, you are greeted by the breathtaking sight of the vestiges of long forgotten kings and once a fabulously wealthy empire - a spectacle that is unequalled in the Middle East.  This evening experience the unforgettable spectacle of Petra by Candlelight (operates Mon, Wed, Thu only).

Drive to Wadi Rum and explore the spectacular desert landscape by jeep, then travel north to the Dead Sea which at 430m below sea level is the lowest point on dry land on Earth. On arrival, check-in at the region’s best hotel.
