Description
Travel from Amman to Petra with a scenic transfer. Stop at Madaba, Mount Nebo, and Shobak Castle along the way.
Meet your driver in front of the Olive Amman Hotel and set off on a journey to Wadi Musa City via the King’s Highway. Stop in Madaba, a city best known for its famous 6th-century mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Visit St. George’s Church and admire the spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics.
Continue to Mount Nebo, a mountain mentioned in the Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land that he would never enter.
Next, head to Shobak Castle, an impressive fortress that stands as a lonely reminder of former Crusader glory. Built in 1115 by King Baldwin I of Jerusalem to guard the road from Damascus to Egypt, the castle crowns a cone of rock rising above a wild and rugged landscape dotted with a grand sweep of fruit trees below.
Finally, arrive in Petra, where your driver will drop you off.
