Breakfast at the hotel. Depart for the site to visit the capital of the ancient Nabataean kingdom, Petra. The long-lost city of Petra, carved entirely by man into the pinkish-red sandstone rocks, challenges your imagination. It is a mystical and glorious place, an eternal tribute to a lost civilization. Petra was the central meeting point of the spice routes of the Nabataeans, who came from the Persian Gulf, Western Arabia, and the Red Sea. About two thousand years ago Petra became the capital of the Nabataean empire. The natural richness of the mountainous area combines superbly with the refined culture and massive architecture of the Nabataeans, who carved their theater, temples, facades, tombs, monasteries, and house streets entirely in the pinkish-red sandstone rocks. One enters Petra via the Siq, a deep and narrow gorge at the end of which Petra's most famous monument suddenly appears dramatically: al-Khazneh or the Treasury.
