Petra –Jerusalem (Other locations on request)

You will tour through the treasury, amphitheater, royal tombs, a monastery and much more, walk in the tracks of Lawrence of Arabia and India Jones, and discover why Petra was named “the rose-red city half the age of time”.
Depart Petra by 3:00pm and return to King Hussein / Allenby Bridge, and then on to Jerusalem where you will be dropped off at your destination (other locations on request, supplement applies).
