What you'll do
Welcome to an unforgettable experience designed to explore the cultural richness and beauty of Jordan.
Our guide, easily identifiable by the Shore2Shore sign, will welcome you at the port of Aqaba. From there, we will embark on a captivating journey of approximately two hours through the majestic Jordanian desert, enjoying landscapes of extraordinary beauty en route to our destination: the mythical city of Petra.
Located north of Aqaba, this legendary pink city is a marvel carved into the rock by the ancient Nabataean Arabs around 312 BC. Recognized as a World Heritage Site since 1985, Petra is one of the greatest cultural treasures in the world.
Our visit begins at the impressive Siq, a narrow and winding gorge flanked by towering rock walls, which will lead us to the unforgettable view of the majestic city carved into stone and bathed in the desert sunlight.
You will be amazed to learn how this prosperous metropolis, the ancient capital of the Nabataeans and equipped with an advanced water conduction system, remained hidden for over a thousand years until it was rediscovered in 1812 by a Swiss explorer.
During the guided tour, we will explore its most emblematic treasures, such as the Nabataean theater, the temples, and the royal tombs, before enjoying free time to contemplate the grandeur of this unique place and let its beauty fill your spirit.
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure among the wonders of the Jordanian desert!
