The pink sandstone cliffs of the famous archaeological site of Petra in the desert of Jordan.

Petra Holidays

Carved into the rose-coloured sandstone cliff face over 2,000 years ago, the prehistoric city of Petra is, without a doubt, Jordan's most valuable treasure.

Once a thriving trading centre and the capital of the Nabataean empire, Petra lay forgotten for centuries until it was re-discovered by a Swiss explorer in 1812.

A visit to the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage 'Rose Red City' is a truly unforgettable experience and a must-see for any trip to Jordan.

Trailfinders offers a range of Jordan holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Jordan with your own private guide and driver, on a sociable guided group tour, or on a cycling holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
