Walk the narrow Siq canyon as dawn breaks to reach the Treasury before crowds, guided by a Bedouin-trained Petra specialist.
What to expect
From Aqaba, a private car brings you to the site entrance before general admission opens. You'll walk the mile-long Siq as the canyon walls glow pink and gold, emerging at the Treasury facade in relative solitude. Your guide continues to the Street of Facades and Royal Tombs, sharing Nabataean history along the way.

Good to know
Transfer from Aqaba is roughly 2 hours each way, so this requires the ship's earliest possible departure; wear sturdy shoes for uneven terrain. Book at least a month ahead to secure the earliest entry slot.
