A practical first look at Petra
Petra is a large archaeological landscape rather than a single monument. A rewarding visit allows enough time to walk through the site, absorb its scale and account for heat, terrain and elevation changes.
The Treasury
Petra’s best-known rock-cut façade and a natural first landmark after the Siq.
Royal Tombs
A group of monumental façades that reveals more of Petra’s scale and craftsmanship.
Monastery area
A major destination deeper inside Petra that requires additional walking and climbing.

Planning note

Explore beyond the obvious
