Package holiday to Petra

Petra, the legendary rock city in southern Jordan, is one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world and was rightly chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders. The Nabataeans carved a complete city with temples, tombs, and theaters directly into the red sandstone cliffs over 2,000 years ago — an architectural marvel like no other.

Access is through the Siq, a 1.2-kilometer-long, up to 80-meter-deep gorge, whose steep walls create dramatic plays of light and shadow. At the end of the Siq, the view suddenly opens up to Al-Khazneh, the Treasury — Petra's most famous facade, 40 meters high and of Hellenistic elegance. Those familiar with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade will recognize the backdrop immediately. But Petra is much more than this one facade.

Over 800 structures are spread across an area of 264 square kilometers: the Roman theater for 8,000 spectators, the royal tombs with their massive facades, and the Monastery Ad Deir, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view after 800 steps to the mountain summit. The Petra by Night tour, where thousands of candles illuminate the Siq and the Treasury, creates a mystical atmosphere. March to May and September to November offer the most pleasant temperatures.

Petra particularly impresses with fascinating culture, breathtaking nature. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
