Shore Excursions from Aqaba to Petra

your Memphis Tours Representative will pick you up from Aqaba Port by the cruise exit door. After that you will be transferred by an air-conditioned vehicle for about 1.5 hours to visit the Red Rose Rock City of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World .The Arab Nabateans carved this magnificent city into the red sandstone rock over 2000 years ago. You will also explore the Siq ( canyon ), a narrow path that was once the main entrance to the City. An impressively long, deep and narrow gorge of stunning natural beauty, the Siq is hemmed in by cliffs soaring up to 263 feet, so you can walk or ride on a horse if you wish. At the end of the Siq, you will see the Treasury, El-Khazneh, which was believed to hold countless treasures. Your first view of El-Khazneh is absolutely breathtaking, so have your camera ready! Then Other monuments you will see in Petra include the Roman Theatre, the Royal Tombs and Qasr al-Bint. Lunch will be served at a good quality local restaurant, then you will be driven back to the cruise at Aqaba Port.

Please note: The tour requires considerable walking, so the number of horses in Petra is limited.
