| Breakfast at hotel. Then proceed for full Day visit to Petra. Petra was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom from around the 6th century BC. The ruins remained hidden to most of the world until the Swiss explorer, Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, infiltrated the Bedouin-occupied city in 1812. The first real excavations of the site were in 1929 after the forming of Trans-Jordan. Since that time, Petra has become by far Jordan's largest tourist attraction, partially due to the exposure by the Steven Spielberg movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in 1989. This archaeological site was chosen in July 2007 as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Later on transfer to Amman. Dinner & overnight at hotel in Amman. (B,D) |
