Once in Petra, the evening is yours to enjoy, with possibilities such as the atmospheric Petra by Candlelight experience or a hands-on lesson in Jordanian cuisine. An entire day is then devoted to uncovering the secrets of the ancient Nabataean city of Petra. A guided tour will lead you through the narrow Siq to the awe-inspiring Treasury, after which you'll have ample free time to discover other marvels, like the impressive Monastery. Following this immersive experience, you'll travel to the spectacular desert landscapes of Wadi Rum for an unforgettable overnight stay in a traditional Bedouin camp, enjoying a customary dinner beneath the stars.

For those seeking more adventure, an optional trek through the water-filled canyons of Wadi Mujib might be available, depending on the season. Later, you will transfer to Amman's Queen Alia International Airport for your flight to the dazzling city of Dubai (please note, this flight is not included in the tour package price).
