You enter Petra through a slit of shadow and heat—the Siq folding around you like a pared-back arm of rock—until the canyon opens and the Treasury stands flushed in pink light. That moment, half archaeology and half theater, defines what this seven-day private Jordan tour aims for: dramatic landscapes, layered history, and the chance to move at your own pace.
