Top Petra On the Water

When your cruise ship docks in Aqaba, take a private full-day shore excursion to Petra.

Tour the highlights with a local guide; walking through the Siq canyon to witness the Treasury, tombs, amphitheater and Roman street. Learn about Petra’s history, and afterward, savor lunch at a local restaurant. Enjoy a flexible itinerary, with the opportunity to customize your sightseeing to your interests.
