Once in Petra, you will be visiting rose red Seir mountains that are mentioned in the Book of Genesis.  This mountain range houses the Aaron Peak, which is the highest locality in Petra.   You will walk through a narrow Siq passage, being the main entrance into Petra.  The “Siq” is encompassed by tomb and burial chambers and brings you to one of the largest theaters in Jordan.  THe theater is carved into the sandstone of the mountains of Petra at the bottoms of the High Place.  You will walk back up hill to the Royal Tombs and will have a great view of the lower part of Petra with all its Roman remains.

Your tour will end with a drive along the Exodus route north along the famed historical Kings Highway, passing by the well conserved Crusader city of Kerak.  You will continue to drive through Wadi Mujeb, a wildlife preserve and arrive at Madaba.  Here you will view St. Georges Church and the mosaic Madaba Map.  The Madaba Map shows the Holy Land as Christian pilgrims knew it to be at the time.   Your travels will continue to Mt. Nebo from where God showed Moses the Promised Land.   Your tour ends at the baptismal site of  “Bethany beyond in Jordan”   This baptism spot is significant to the Christian pilgrimage  because of its association with Jesus Christ our Lord being baptized here by John the Baptist.
