Generally, however, the travelers will be escorted to a waiting shuttle which heads north towards Petra.

 This location is the most visited area in all of Jordan. A number of magazines has placed the area in their covers, and this site has appeared on several Hollywood films . It is the ancient home of a group known as the Nabataeans and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a distinguished example of rock cut architecture, and the most well-known of the buildings carved directly into the cliff faces is the Treasury. A trip to Petra should also include a tour of the Siq or the narrow passages leading into the site as well.

Of course, a visitor is not restricted to a single daytrip into Jordan from Egypt, and some of the better tour companies will also include visits to such equally famous attractions as the Wadi Rum (which is the largest of its kind in all of Jordan and home to prehistoric and modern sites), and tours of several museums in the southwest of the country too. These Egypt Jordan tours truly are a great experience.

 This is great for travelers like you because this kind of activity allows you to acquire a richer understanding of the culture in the place, and you get in touch with their history. Also, rare experiences are obtained through such activities. For example, the famous Lawrence of Arabia operated throughout this entire region, and used Wadi Rum as a base during the years 1917 and 1918. Travelers can literally ride in his footsteps if they choose a tour group that gives guests access to horseback excursions into the Wadi and surrounding desert areas. This can make for a truly remarkable and memorable addition to a holiday in Egypt.
