Following breakfast in the hotel, spend the entire day exploring the city of Petra, built by the Nabataean empire in the first century B.C. The Nabateans carved beautiful structures and buildings into pink and red sandstone canyon walls, creating a breathtaking city that was a center for trade for about 500 years. The city remained hidden and empty for many centuries until Swiss explorer John Lewis Burckhardt rediscovered it in 1812. After a full day of exploring, head back to the hotel for dinner.
