Walk the narrow Siq canyon into Petra as the sun rises over the Treasury facade, guided by a Bedouin-trained archaeologist-historian.
What to expect
You'll enter the Siq's narrow sandstone corridor as it opens dramatically onto the Treasury facade. Your guide shares Nabataean history at the Royal Tombs and up to the Monastery if time allows. It's a full morning of walking, with camel or horse-cart options for tired legs.
Good to know
This excursion requires a very early transfer from the port to Petra given the distance, so it's best on itineraries with a long port day in Aqaba; wear sturdy shoes and bring water.
