Have you ever dreamed of walking into a city carved from stone? Petra is not just an archaeological site—it’s an experience that takes you on a journey through time, back to the Nabataean civilization that flourished over 2,000 years ago.
Nestled in the heart of southern Jordan’s desert, Petra is known as the “Rose City” due to the unique color of its rock, which shifts from soft pink to fiery red with the sunlight.
As you walk through the Siq, the narrow gorge flanked by towering cliffs, you’ll feel like you’re stepping into a magical world. And when the Treasury reveals itself—an awe-inspiring structure carved entirely into the mountain—you can’t help but be amazed by the Nabataeans’ genius and the breathtaking beauty of the place.
But Petra is more than just the Treasury! There’s the amphitheater, the Royal Tombs, the High Place of Sacrifice, and hundreds of other tombs and temples that each tell their own story.
