Petra: How to Plan Your Visit

Petra is the most famous site in Jordan and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The ancient Nabataean city is carved into rose colored rock.

Highlights

• The Siq, the narrow canyon leading to the city
• The Treasury (Al Khazneh)
• The Royal Tombs
• The Monastery (Ad Deir), reached by climbing hundreds of steps

Tips

Start early to avoid the heat and crowds. Wear comfortable shoes and carry water. One full day is the minimum, and two days let you explore more.
