Highlights of Petra

Embark on a journey through time as you step into the mythical realm of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site nestled in the heart of Jordan. Just a scenic 230-kilometre (140-mile) drive from the bustling capital of Amman. Petra beckons with its awe-inspiring beauty and ancient allure. Dating back to around 300 BC. This archaeological marvel is a testament to the ingenuity of the Nabataeans.

Nestled in the heart of the Middle East. Jordan surprises with weather akin to the Mediterranean, reminiscent of Italy. However, as winter approaches, prepare to embrace the chill by packing warm clothes and jackets to make the most of your visit.

The highlight of any visit to Petra is the iconic Al-Khazneh, or the Treasury, a grandiose facade that greets visitors as they emerge from the narrow Siq, a natural rock formation that serves as an enchanting gateway to the site. Above all, the intricate carvings and the sheer scale of the Treasury leave visitors in awe. Offering a glimpse into the architectural prowess of the ancient Nabataeans.

Beyond the Treasury

Petra unfolds with a myriad of wonders, including the expansive Roman-style theatre, the Monastery (Ad-Deir), and the Royal Tombs. Above all, its intricate rock-cut architecture and the vibrant hues of the surrounding landscape create a mesmerizing tapestry. Chiefly, Petra’s significance in history, makes it a must-see destination for travellers seeking a profound connection with the past.
