Day 3 - PETRA SIGHTSEEING
Spend the whole day visiting Petra, the rose red city, half as old as time. The approach to this lost city - which is Jordan's most famous attraction - is through a narrow gorge, the Siq, whose walls rise up 200 metres. In ancient days, the Siq was Petra's protection from surprise attack. Emerge from the path to gaze upon the Treasury, the most magnificent of Petra's sights, carved out of solid rock and standing over 40 meters high. Wind your way through the canyon to explore the imposing Roman Amphitheatre which once seated 3,000 spectators, and the ancient tombs. (BB,D)
Day 4 - PETRA - AMMAN
Visit an authentic 12th century crusader fortress whose galleries, chapels and ramparts recall the gallantry of the Crusaders themselves. Shobak is perched on the side of a rocky mountain, standing guard over a barren and desolate land. Explore inside the walls to see what remains before driving along the famous Kings Highway back to Amman, Jordan's capital city. Here, see the huge 2nd century Roman Amphitheatre and the Citadel Hill.
Hotel: Crowne Plaza. (BB,D)
