Madonna wrapped up her world tour with a sightseeing trip to Jordan’s famed ruins in Petra.

The Queen of Pop was flown by helicopter into the ancient Roman-era city carved out in red stone in a trip arranged by Queen Rania, the wife of Jordan’s King Abdullah II.

The pop star, in a white shirt and trousers, was escorted by Jordanian security and an armed bodyguard during her 15-minute tour.

Madonna, who has been on her Sticky And Sweet world tour, made no comment to reporters as she walked in almost total darkness. Security lit the area with headlights from their vehicles.

The 51-year-old arrived in Jordan from neighbouring Israel, where she performed two concerts over the last two days.

While she was in Israel, the singer headed to Jerusalem’s Old City where she toured an ancient tunnel near the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can pray. She also had dinner with Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni.
