No trip to Jordan is complete without a visit to Petra, the legendary Rose-Red City carved into sandstone cliffs by the Nabataeans more than 2,000 years ago. This ancient wonder is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World — and for good reason.
Your journey begins with a walk through the Siq, a narrow, winding canyon flanked by towering rock walls. As the path opens, you’ll come face to face with Al Khazneh (The Treasury) one of the most photographed and breathtaking landmarks in the world. But Petra is so much more than the Treasury.
Go deeper to explore an entire city carved into stone: royal tombs, temples, ancient stairways, and the Monastery (Ad-Deir) perched high on a mountain. The scale, detail, and mystery of Petra leave most visitors in awe.
Whether you visit by daylight or experience the magical Petra by Night Show, lit by thousands of candles, this place captures the imagination like few others. Petra isn’t just a destination — it’s a journey through time, culture, and wonder.
