Petra

Petra, the ancient rose-red city of Jordan, is a breathtaking masterpiece carved into sandstone cliffs more than 2,000 years ago. Once a thriving Nabataean trading hub linking Arabia, Egypt, and the Mediterranean, this UNESCO World Heritage Site stands today as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World — a timeless symbol of human artistry and resilience.

Hidden within rugged desert canyons, Petra reveals its secrets through the winding Siq, a dramatic gorge leading to the majestic Treasury (Al-Khazneh) and a maze of tombs, temples, and ancient dwellings.

For yacht travelers cruising the Red Sea, a journey inland from Aqaba offers a unique opportunity to exchange the serenity of the sea for the mysteries of the desert — discovering one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites ever built, where history and legend converge in unforgettable beauty.
