A little About Petra

Step back in time as you enter the legendary city of Petra, Jordan's most iconic archaeological wonder. Carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago, this UNESCO World Heritage Site reveals its treasures gradually - from the narrow Siq canyon that builds anticipation to the breathtaking reveal of Al-Khazneh (The Treasury). Explore royal tombs, a Roman-style theater, and hike up to the monumental Ad-Deir (Monastery) for panoramic views. Petra comes alive at night during the magical candlelit "Petra by Night" experience. #Petra #WorldHeritage #Archaeology #BucketList #Jordan
