Petra Tours, Tickets & Excursions | Book Jordan Adventures

Nestled among the rugged mountains and vast desert landscapes of southern Jordan lies Petra, a breathtaking ancient city famous for its rose-red rock facades. Visitors from all over the world come to wander through its winding canyons and marvel at the intricate carvings and monumental structures left by the Nabataeans. Whether you are passionate about history, fascinated by unique architecture, or simply in search of the extraordinary, Petra promises an unforgettable experience.

A Glimpse Into the Past

The city was carved directly into vibrant sandstone cliffs over 2,000 years ago by the Nabataeans, who established it as a thriving trade hub on the ancient caravan routes. Hidden from the West for centuries, Petra was rediscovered in the early 19th century and is now one of the world’s most impressive archaeological wonders, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

When to Visit

Although accessible year-round, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) bring mild, pleasant weather ideal for exploring all day. Summers can be very hot, while winters are cooler and less crowded, making each season unique for visitors.

How much time should I spend there?

Most travelers dedicate at least one full day to explore the main sights, such as the Treasury and Monastery. For a deeper experience, two days allow for hiking the trails and seeing lesser-known tombs and temples.

What should I wear?

Comfortable walking shoes and lightweight, modest clothing are recommended. Don't forget a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water, especially during the warmer months.
