Day 6: (Taba/petra)
Beyond the towering mountains and rock formations of Wadi Rum, which once mesmerised Lawrence of Arabia, lies the Siq Canyon, where a walk along a narrow winding passageway leads to the magnificent Rose Red City of Petra.
Few sites in the world capture the imagination as dramatically as the breathtaking Nabataean structures of Petra, carved into brilliantly coloured rockfaces which rise toward the skies in continually changing shades of red, orange and pink.
Transfer from your hotel to Taba Heights Marina for a ferry journey (approx. 1 hour) to Aqaba and begin your Jordanian adventure travelling along the Kings Highway to Petra. Visit the Treasury and Amphitheatre and wander around the ancient rock tombs and burial places, accompanied by a knowledgeable Jordanian guide. Return through the canyon for a buffet lunch, before driving south back to Aqaba, Jordan's only seaport, for the return ferry journey and onward transfer to your hotel.
