See Petra’s elaborate tombs carved into the rock face and the magnificent theater that originally accommodated 3,000 people.
Visit the Byzantine church along the way and learn stories and facts about the brilliant Nabateans who picked, cut out, and then made this site their home so long ago. If time allows, free time to explore and hike up to the Monastery or the High Place of Sacrifice. If you have time, you may also go to The Petra Museum. Return to your Petra hotel. Dinner and an overnight stay.

Many of the places in Wadi Rum have been named after Lawrence, and many sequences from the renowned film Lawrence of Arabia were shot on location here.
