Though the city of Petra is an old one, it remained unheard of to the rest of the globe for centuries. It used to be a booming business center between 400 BC and 106 AD and got listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. However, today Petra is one of the most sought after destination to visit whenever you are in Jordan. A Petra tour with Jordan Private Tour is perhaps your best chance to explore everything this historic city has to offer.
Also identified as the Rose City due to the color of the stone it’s engraved from, Petra was established in 312BC as the capital city for the Nabataeans. It stayed under Nabataean rule until 100 AD when the Romans attacked it, and in the twelfth century it was eventually abandoned & left to the native folks. The place remained unidentified to the western world outside local communities until 1812 when a Swiss traveler Johann Ludwig Burckhardt discovered it. Petra was elected a World Heritage Site in 1985 and since then it has turned out to be Jordan’s most explored tourist attraction.

The lowest point on the earth (431m below sea level) brings tourists remarkable natural splendors, gripping ancient history and state-of-the-art mineral spas that sooth & pamper each part of your body. Bordered by Israel, Palestine and Jordan, there are plenty of reasons to visit Dead Sea and it makes sense to explore this natural wonder sooner than later as its water shrinking by a meter per year. No trip to Jordan would be complete without experiencing the joy of floating on the water of Dead Sea while covered in mineral-filled mud. The Dead Sea is 8 times saltier compared to any ocean, which makes our bodies more afloat than ever. Swimming here is nearly impossible, so tourists just lean back & use water as their own flotation device.
