Walking through the fractured rocks, humming the theme song of Indiana Jones, you suddenly come upon an opening, and behold, the beauty of The Khazneh (the Treasury) is yours to witness! Built by the Nabatean Arabs between 800 BC and 100 AD, this ancient city spanning over 100 square km is a true artistic masterpiece – exquisite sculptures adorn the rock faces, Roman temples decorate the landscape, ancient mosaics and over 800 monuments can be found sprinkled throughout the site. Your TrueTrips expert guide will bring each building, crevice, rock, sculpture and ancient column to life with stunning stories, myths and historical facts about this awe-inspiring ancient city. Visit off the beaten path monuments and temples, visit far off caves, and delve deeper into the fascinating history of the Nabatean Kingdom.
*Upon entering the archaeological site of Petra, you may be approached by Bedouins offering free horse rides. We strongly caution against the use of this service as the horses are neither certified nor properly insured for this purpose. Additionally, while this service is advertised as “free” it is a near certainty that the Bedouins will insist on monetary compensation in the form of a tip upon the ride’s conclusion.
