The intricate carvings and monumental structures speak of a civilization that thrived in harmony with nature, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire. A recent review captures the essence of this experience:

“Petra is amazing - We hired Tourist Jordan to drive us from the airport to Petra and back, and for a 1 day tour in Petra. They provided a safe, polite, and punctual driver for our 3 day visit to Jordan. Petra is amazing and well worth the visit. It reminded me of Moab, Utah, and coincidentally the area north of Petra was called Moab in ancient times (which one was named first? haha).” (Reviewed on 2024-09-18)
