Your itinerary includes a visit to the enchanting rose-hued city of Petra in Jordan, a major attraction situated 240km to the south of the nation’s capital, Amman. Petra was established in roughly the 6th century B.C by the itinerant Nabataean Arabs, who not only settled here but also established a thriving trade network that reached into Syria. On your arrival, you’ll start the journey on horseback to the canyon, referred to as the Siq, followed by a trek to Petra’s most splendid monument, the Treasury. You’ll also encounter other spectacular landmarks such as the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, and Pharaoh’s Castle. Additionally, Petra holds the distinction of being one of the New 7 Wonders of the world.
Shobak Castle, otherwise referred to as the ‘royal mountain’, Montreal, or Mons Regalis in its early days, is the premier Crusader fortress in a series of castles in Oultrejourdain, the region located to the east of the Jordan River. It was commissioned in 1115 by Baldwin I, the King of Jerusalem, as a means to oversee the trade routes connecting Syria and Egypt.
