“Match me such a marvel save in eastern clime, a rose-red city half as old as time”      Dean Burgon                                                                               

Visit the world wonder - the red-rose city of Petra, curved out of the red-rose sand stones by Arab Nabataeans 2000 years ago. Those brilliant traders controlled the most important trade routes in their time, which made them wealthy and open to the most known civilisations, all reflected in their architecture, their temples and funeral tombs curved by their own hands as a harmonic  mixture of these great civilisations.

No more than 2 hour drive from Aqaba will take you to that wonder. Jordan Echo Tours offer one day guided tour by modern air conditioned cars and vans and professional guides who speak different languages.
