Walk through the Siq to Petra’s Treasury, spend a star-filled night in a Bedouin camp, tackle a morning 4x4 in Wadi Rum, then float in the mineral waters of the Dead Sea. This two-day guided tour pairs heritage sites with desert adventure and time to unwind.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into Petra through the Siq and the canyon closes around you—the rock walls breathing heat and ancient dust. The narrow gorge straightens and there it is: Al-Khazneh, the Treasury, carved in pale rose stone and catching the first light like a curtain drawn back. Over the next two days that opening image will be one of many—sweeping desert arches, a night in a Bedouin tent under a cathedral of stars, and the impossible buoyancy of the Dead Sea that leaves you floating and oddly weightless.
