PriceDetails
29  USD

Name: EXCURSION TO LITTLE PETRA
Location: PETRA
Description: Enjoy a guided excursion to Little Petra or Al Beidha, only a few miles from Petra, it was once a commercial area and on the trade route to the north and northwest. After passing the narrow cleft in the rock that forms its entrance - too narrow for laden camels to pass - it opens into three natural courtyards. Admire the facades and cisterns, interspersed with steps, some of which lead to holy places on the summits. One of the rooms is unique for its early first-century AD frescoed ceiling.
24  USD

Name: ROMAN RACE SHOW
Location: JERASH
Description: Travel to Jerash, a remarkably well-preserved Roman city, for the Roman Army and Chariot Experience (RACE) at the restored hippodrome, Circus Gerasa. Sit in the same seats and watch thrilling performances - fully armed legionnaires, gladiator contests, and chariot races - similar to what the citizens of the Roman Empire would have seen some twenty centuries ago.
