    Overnight Desert camp, Wadi RumAbout 120 km

    Petra, the “rose-red city, half as old as time”, was the capital of the Nabataeans, and its massive carved monuments and multicoloured stone are a wonder in themselves. The visit begins on horseback, then continues on foot through the Siq, a long, narrow gorge between overhanging cliffs, until the Treasury, Petra’s most famous monument, appears at its end. From there the city opens up little by little. In the early afternoon, continue south to Wadi Rum, Jordan’s largest desert and one of the most spectacular desert landscapes in the world, for a 4×4 tour that lasts until sunset, watched over a glass of traditional Bedouin tea. Dinner is at a camp in the desert.
