Top Highlights of Petra

The Treasury (Al-Khazneh)

One of the most recognizable monuments in Petra, this magnificent rock-carved structure greets visitors at the end of The Siq. It is believed to have served as a royal tomb or temple and remains one of the most photographed sites in Jordan.

The Monastery (Al-Deir)

Larger than The Treasury, The Monastery sits at the top of an 800-step climb, offering panoramic views over Petra’s rugged terrain. It is one of the most impressive sites in Jordan.

The Royal Tombs

A collection of intricately carved tombs set into the sandstone cliffs, including the Urn Tomb, Silk Tomb, Corinthian Tomb, and Palace Tomb.

The Siq

A 1.2-kilometer-long gorge with towering sandstone walls that leads into Petra. This dramatic natural passage creates a breathtaking entrance to the ancient city.

Little Petra (Siq al-Barid)

Located nine kilometers north of Petra, Little Petra features rock-carved temples, tombs, and frescoes, making it an excellent off-the-beaten-path stop for history enthusiasts.
