Why Visit Petra
Walking through the narrow Siq canyon to the first glimpse of the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) is one of the world's great travel moments.
Beyond the Treasury, the Monastery (Ad-Deir), the Royal Tombs and hundreds of carved facades reward a full day of exploration.
Petra by Night, held several evenings a week, illuminates the Siq and Treasury with thousands of candles.
