After that we will continue to the nearby city Madaba, where we will see the famous mosaic landscape of Palestine out of the 6th century at St. George church.

Day 4: Today the most known attraction of Jordan is on our schedule - the Nabataen city Petra. This day is dedicated to the unforgettable rose-red city! On horsebacks we will ride to the entry of the of Petra, the Siq, and will continue 1,5km through the Siq on foot as it is the only way to reach Petra. Our first sight will be the amazing treasury El Khazna - a fantastic photo stop! Petra reaches over a total area of 40 sq km - look at all those hundreds of old rose-red buildings, tombs, churches, theaters and unforgettable drawings. We will also climb up to the great monastery El Deir. After this exhausting day we will have dinner and overnight in Petra.

At the evening we will have a BBQ party and a campfire under a million stars in a Bedouin tent. Overnight at Bedouin tents.
