A rock-carved Nabataean city in canyon walls, the rose-red Treasury at the Siq's end, a World Heritage wonder.

📍 Destination Overview

Petra, a World Heritage Site and New Seven Wonder, is a rock-hewn Nabataean city hidden in Jordan's southern canyons. The rose sandstone earned it the name Rose City. Walk the Siq fissure to glimpse the famous Treasury, a scene from Indiana Jones. Further in lie the Monastery, royal tombs and a Roman theatre; by night candlelight lights the Siq.

historic town 's whole。
Petra is Jordan's brightest World Heritage rose city, at about 1,000 m elevation; spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Sep–Nov) are most pleasant, summers hot and winters colder. There is a lot of walking (especially the 800 steps to the Monastery) — bring water, sun protection and comfortable shoes. Don't miss the awe of walking the deep Siq to the sudden Treasury, and Petra by Night on certain evenings. Stay in Wadi Musa at the entrance.
