- Petra - Petra is encircled by towering hills of rust-colored sandstone, providing the city with natural protection against invaders.
- Siq - Witness the magnificent red rose rock city, the city of the Nabateans, the lost city (all carved into the mountains). Ride a horse to the Siq (canyon), a natural crack in the rocks leading to the Roman Theatre, Royal Tombs, and the Roman colonnaded street.
- Al-Khazneh - Al-Khazneh is one of the most intricate temples in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom once inhabited by the Arabs in ancient times. Like most other structures in this ancient town, including the Monastery (Arabic: Ad Deir), it was carved from a sandstone rock face.
- Monastery (Al Dayr) - Ad Deir, also known as ad-Dayr and el-Deir, is a monumental building carved from rock in the ancient Jordanian city of Petra. The Deir was likely carved from the rock in the mid-first century CE.
- The Royal Tombs - Visit Qasr Al-Bent and then the archaeological museum. Enjoy lunch, then return to Aqaba city for a brief city tour and free time for shopping. After your day tour, sail back to Taba port and be transferred to your hotel in Taba.
- Obelisk Tomb - The Obelisk Tomb was built in the first century BCE in Petra. It is an elaborate two-story tomb carved from solid rock. Its facade is a sophisticated blend of Egyptian, Greek, Indian, and Nabataean architectural styles. The Obelisk Tomb is topped by four obelisks, which is how it got its name.
