Petra Tours for Solo Travelers
In Jordan, get ready for landscapes that shift quickly from low valleys to open desert. The Dead Sea is known for its heavy, salty water. In Petra, the Treasury and Royal Tombs are carved straight into the rock walls. Farther south, Wadi Rum spreads out in wide, sandy plains, and the Burdah Rock Bridge sits high above the ground.
