Petra, Jordan is so old that it’s mentioned in the first book of the Old Testament. In Genesis, Petra is called Seir, and it was the home of the cave-dwelling Edomites.
During the Exodus, Moses led the Israelites through Petra, where he struck the rock with his staff and brought forth water.
It was an important post in the caravan route linking Damascus and the Red Sea.
In the mid ‘80s, Petra became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in 2007 it was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Not to mention the time Harrison Ford and Sean Connery went galloping through Petra in search of the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
You Can Be In Petra This October
We are now taking reservations for an October 14 – 25, 2022 tour of Jordan that features Petra, as well as The Dead Sea and Wadi Rum. This small group tour will be led by intuitive life journey guide Nancy Auspelmyer and her partner, alternative healing practitioner Dr. Ling Chen.
Nancy and Ling’s Jordan tour is actually one segment of a longer program that also includes Egypt and Malta. You can see those tours and all of the other spiritual travel experience we have available by following THIS LINK.
Update: This tour has now been cancelled
