Enter through the Siq, a dramatically narrow gorge flanked by towering cliffs, and spend the day wandering at leisure through Petra's seemingly endless temples, tombs, and colonnaded streets.
Pay a visit to the grand Qasr al-Bint temple, or if you're feeling adventurous, climb up the 800 steps to the Monastery, Petra's largest and lesser-visited monument. Navigate the impressive water conduit system of the historic city, or hike to the top of Jabal al-Khubtha for a stunning view overlooking the Treasury.
After getting your fill of Petra, continue south into the wilderness of Wadi Rum, an expanse of desert dubbed the "Valley of the Moon". Along the two-hour drive, you'll pass through red valleys, rock canyons, and dunes to reach a Bedouin-style camp, your accommodation for the night.
