Walk the ancient streets of Petra

Visit Petra on this Short Break Adventure, the rose-hued fortress city carved into rock by the Nabataean people. Once the capital of a trading empire that dominated the deserts of modern Jordan, Petra showcases the achievements of this ancient Arab people. Explore the rock-cut architecture, float in the Dead Sea and see Jerusalem in the distance from Mt Nebo. This short trip is the ideal way to start off or round up a voyage to the Middle East.

Is this trip right for you?

  • On Short Breaks, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a Trip Leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Intrepid partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.
  • This trip packs a lot in so expect early starts and late finishes. If you prefer to explore at a more leisurely pace, this may not be the best trip for you.
