Holidays to Petra

Holidays to Petra

On luxury Petra Holidays, you'll enjoy a personal visit to a globally recognised archaeological site, where the 3rd-century architecture blends with Eastern culture to create a unique experience. Petra has been inhabited for thousands of years, with prehistoric settlers calling this land between the Dead and Red Sea's home before modern states even existed. Now it sits between Syria, Egypt and Arabia, offering visitors the charisma, excitement and beauty of each culture. The landscape is also peppered with ancient forts, temples and many other buildings or monuments, but modern attractions such as the Al-Habis Museum and the Nabataean Museum are equally deserving of a visit. This world-class resort has many excellent restaurants and a range of superior hotels for guests to enjoy. Expect lagoon-shaped free-form pools, roof gardens and sumptuous decor.

More Travel Information

Holidays to Petra give guests the chance to unwind in surroundings packed with historical significance, but there is also a thriving modern culture. You can find out more about how the locals cook tasty authentic dishes on a Petra Kitchen cookery course, try out the soothing waters at the Petra Turkish Bath or gain a different perspective on the Rose City by booking a night tour. Your guide lights the way with candles and ends the trip by serving you a refreshing mint tea.
Despite being located within a wild Arabian desert, the restaurants at Petra offer a delicious array of tasty, refreshing salads to their diners. There are also generous servings of local dishes such as lamb kebabs, with hummus, bread and pickles as an accompaniment. If you stay at the modern Petra Moon hotel, you can enjoy an elegant dining room in the onsite restaurant, and buffets that include both international dishes, local specialities, and indulgent traditional desserts.
The Rose City at Petra is one of this region’s most amazing heritage sites. Half built and half carved from the exquisitely coloured natural rock, this ancient wonder can be explored easily with an experienced local guide. Luxury Petra Holidays give guests the opportunity to browse for handmade mementos and gifts at local enterprises such as Made in Jordan. Here you can pick up a camel hair shawl, some genuine Safi embroidery or an example of the exquisite jewellery from Wadi Musa.
