Why take this tour?

Hidden in Jordan’s desert mountains, Petra is far more than its famous Treasury. This tour invites you to uncover the full story of the Nabataean capital — from secret sacrificial altars and towering royal tombs to ancient marketplaces and remote monasteries. Step by step, you’ll explore masterful architecture carved into stone, hike forgotten trails, and trace the legacy of a civilization that turned rock into ritual, commerce, and power. With the app's GPS and map, you can freely navigate, pause, or replay sections to immerse yourself in the stunning landscape and remarkable heritage of Petra. This is a digital audio guide available on the SmartGuide app. GPS-based audio plays automatically, even offline. Install SmartGuide on Android or iOS.
