TheWest Bankcity ofJerichois usually visible from the summit, as is Jerusalemon a very clear day. Then, go to visit Shobak castle, known as Shobak, but to the Crusaders it wasMont Real(Crak de Montreal) or Mons Regalis, the Fortress of the Royal Mount. It was built in 1115 by King Baldwin I of Jerusalem to guard the road fromDamascusto Egypt, and was the first of a string of similar strongholds in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. The impressive castle stands as a lonely reminder of formerCrusader glorydating from the same turbulent period as Kark, crowning a cone of rock, which rises above a wild and rugged landscape dotted with a grand sweep of fruit trees below. Finally, transfer to Petra. Dinner & overnight.
Breakfast. Visit Petra which lies about 3-5 hours south of modernAmman, about 2 hours north of Aqaba, on the edges of the mountainous desert of the Wadi Araba. The city is surrounded by towering hills of rustcolored sandstone which gave the city some natural protection against invaders. The site is semi-arid, the friable sandstone which allowed the Nabataeans to carve their temples and tombs into the rock crumbling easily to sand. The color of the rock ranges from pale yellow or white through rich reds to the darker brown of more resistant rocks. The contorted strata of different-colored rock form whorls and waves of color in the rock face, which the Nabataeans exploited in their architecture. Back to Petra hotel for dinner & overnight.
After Breakfast. Departure from your hotel in Petra to Beidha, also known as Little Petra, the place where Nabateans used to entertain their guests. It is one of the main commercial areas of Petra, the entry and exit point for the trade routes to the north and north-west. Here the caravans from the Negev, Gaza and Askalon, from Jerusalem and the Phoenician coast would arrive and settle for a while to engage in trade, their camels and donkeys quartered in the broad acres near the cistern. The merchants probably stayed in the cool seclusion of the Siq Al-Barid, the coldgorge, whose entrance is at the end of a narrowing of the valley. Then drive to Wadi Rum to do long visit for 02 hrs. by jeep 4X4 in the middle desert which is known as The Valley of the Moon(Arabic:وادي القمر), following in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia, climbing sand dunes and rock bridges.
