Overview of your Aqaba tour

Discover one of Petra's most rewarding and least-visited hiking routes on a full-day guided adventure to Mount Aaron (Jabal Haroun), traditionally believed to be the burial place of Prophet Aaron, the brother of Moses. Starting from Petra's Main Trail, you'll explore the ancient Nabataean city before ascending through rugged mountain paths to the sacred summit, where breathtaking panoramic views stretch across Petra and the surrounding desert. Along the way, your licensed local guide shares the history, archaeology, biblical traditions, and Bedouin culture that bring this remarkable landscape to life. This challenging hike is ideal for active travelers seeking more than the classic Petra visit. Combining iconic monuments, dramatic scenery, spiritual significance, and authentic local insight, this unforgettable experience reveals a side of Petra that few visitors ever discover.
