Individuelle Rundreise: Felsenstadt Petra & Wadi Rum

Day 1: Depart from the Dead Sea in the morning for Wadi Rum – an encounter with the desert. T. E. Lawrence described Wadi Rum as “vast, solitary and godlike”; it is Jordan’s largest and most magnificent desert landscape. During a Bedouin jeep tour (approx. 1.5–2 hours) through the rugged terrain, experience the desert’s unspoilt nature and vast open spaces at the original locations of “Lawrence of Arabia” – a desert adventure like no other. Continue to Petra, where you will spend 2 nights at the 5-star Mövenpick Resort Petra.

Day 2: Full-day excursion to “Rose-red Petra”. Discover the 2,000-year-old red rock city of Petra, Jordan’s most impressive cultural monument, often referred to as the “eighth wonder of the world”. Set in a mountain basin, the city can only be reached through a narrow, approximately 1.5 km-long rock cleft flanked by cliffs up to 200 m high. Ride on horseback as far as this gorge, known as the “Siq”. At the end of the gorge, which you walk through, enjoy an unforgettable view of the Treasury, “El Khaznet”, Petra’s landmark. This is only the beginning of Petra’s sights. Along the various walking and climbing routes, visitors will find literally hundreds of buildings, façades, tombs and baths, as well as mysterious rock carvings and reliefs. These sights are at their most beautiful early in the morning and late in the afternoon, when the sun warms the colourful stones of the buildings and bathes them in a rosy light.

• 2 buffet breakfasts at Mövenpick Resort Petra
• Tour as described in the programme in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver/guide, from the Dead Sea via Wadi Rum and Petra to Amman Airport
