Truly a wonder of the ancient world, and the principal cultural treasure of the Kingdon of Jordan. It's worth the trip. We spent a day there and only saw the things on the main path. There are many other sites off the main trail. We could have spent two or three days exploring it all. We should have got our admission tickets at the airport when we obtained our visas. Don't forget Little Petra - if you have the time. Water, sunblock, a hat, and good shoes are a must. You can pay to be driven/carried all the way to the Monastery. So many vendors. In some places they ruined the atmosphere of it. But they have a right to be there - It's their home. Just don't buy anything from children.

Gorgeous place! Go early to beat the crowds. Did not enjoy the continuous hassling, especially by the Bedouin kids. When you go: don't ride a horse, donkey or camel when you're clearly too heavy (like most of us). Think logically please and don't contribute to this animal cruelty.

One of the best place in Earth. Full of ancient human heritage. Needs a whole day to explore properly, The Jordon pass has a option for 2 days entry also. Very hot and humid, So take ample water and food

The landscape was unique and beautiful, and do I need to explain why the city carved in mountain is amazing. It’s definitely a challenging hike given the hot weather. Make sure you bring plenty of water and wear comfortable clothes.

Incredible place to get lost and admire all its beauty. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds of tourists and enjoy more quietly.

The "Lost City of Petra", hidden deep in the shimmering Arabian desert in Jordan, is one of the most archaeological and mystical wonders of all time. When trade routes moved to the sea, Petra slowly declined and was finally abandoned by the 7th century A.D. and lay forgotten for over 12 centuries until its discovery in 1812. Petra is said to date to around 300 B.C. and hailed by the BBC as "one of the top 40 places you just have to see before you die". It definitely is!!! This 2,000-year-old city, an entire city hand carved and sculpted out of sheer rock, is truly a man made spectacle not to be missed! Petra is certainly one of those rare destinations that lives up to expectations. An amazing experience. Join me in my journey starting at the "Petra Visitor Center". I'm sure, like me, you'll be telling all your family and friends about it. Highly recommended!

Petra is truly a wonder of its own and absolutely worth the visit. You should cover the entrance fee with the Jordan Pass. Plan a full day and start early in the day. A lot of people recommend 2 days. We did one full day and another day where we hiked in from little Petra. And it was well worth the time. Don’t fall for tourist traps like monkey riding or guide that show you up some stairs. Everything you can see is for free (after the entrance). Petra by night was not recommended to us - we were told that the pictures of it look more amazing than the real life experience. But again we didn’t go for it, so I can not say something how it is.

One of the most beautiful places on the planet. It's truly one of the seven wonders of the world. Majestic and magnificent. You need at least a day to see the highlights

One of the best historical places you will visit, we went through all the places inside. I would recommend to bring light snacks with you and alot of water as there will be a long distance to walk specially if you are planning to visit the monastery, we walked for about 17 km that day

Petra (Arabic: ٱلْبَتْرَاء‎, romanized: Al-Batrāʾ; Ancient Greek: Πέτρα, "Rock"), originally known to its inhabitants in as Raqmu or Raqēmō (𐢚𐢛𐢓𐢈)[3][4], is a historic and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies around Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin surrounded by mountains which form the eastern flank of the Arabah valley that runs from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba.[5] The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC,[6] and the Nabataeans might have settled in what would become the capital city of their kingdom, as early as the 4th century BC.[7] However, archaeological work has only discovered evidence of Nabataean presence dating back to the second century BC,[8] by which time Petra had become their capital.[6] The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.

Petra (from πέτρα, rock in Greek) is an archaeological site in Jordan, located about 250 km south of the capital Amman, in a basin between the mountains east of the Wadi Araba, the great valley that extends from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba of the Red Sea. Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The visit of the site is quite demanding as it involves a fairly long path to which you have to add a tiring climb of a few kilometers to climb the mountain where the Monastery is located. Along the way there are several archaeological sites and small annexed museums, all very suggestive and interesting. The visit of the site takes a whole day and it is advisable to go with an expert guide to be able to enjoy the visit to the fullest, capturing all the details. There are no refreshment points along the route except at the entrance to the archaeological site and at the foot of the monastery slope where a usually very crowded restaurant is located. Ultimately a place to visit absolutely in life. Petra ( da πέτρα, roccia in greco) è un sito archeologico della Giordania, posto a circa 250 km a sud della capitale Amman, in un bacino tra le montagne a est del Wadi Araba, la grande valle che si estende dal Mar Morto fino al Golfo di Aqaba del Mar Rosso. Petra è una delle sette meraviglie del mondo moderno nonché patrimonio del UNESCO. La visita del sito è abbastanza impegnativa in quanto prevede un percorso abbastanza lungo al quale bisogna aggiungere una faticosa salita di alcuni kilometri per salire sulla montagna dove è situato il Monastero. Lungo il percorso si trovano diversi siti di archeologici e piccoli musei annessi, tutto molto suggestivo ed interessante. La visita del sito richiede una intera giornata ed consigliabile recarsi con una guida esperta per poter godere al meglio della visita cogliendo tutti i particolari. Non ci sono punti di ristoro lungo il percorso se non All entrata del sito archeologico e ai piedi della salita del monastero dove è situato un ristorante di solito molto affollato. In definitiva un luogo da visitare assolutamente nella vita.

Simply breathtaking! You get lost in ancient times in the Lost City. More efforts are needed to preserve this wonderful piece of history. Cleanliness and facilities for tourists should be improved.

The ancient city of Petra is a famous archaeological site in Jordan’s southwestern desert. Petra is famous for its tombs, temples, churches and houses which are all carved into pink sandstone cliffs; earning its nickname, the “Rose City”. It’s Jordan’s most-visited attraction and part of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Established around 300 BC and only discovered by the western world in 1812. The indigenous people (Bedouin) of Petra were nomadic Arabs who used this city as a major trading hub. Petra became an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. The last indigenous Arabs slowly left Petra as the site became incredibly popular for thousands of tourists. I stayed at Petra Gate Hotel in the small town of Wadi Musa which is just a few 100 metres away from the entrance of Petra. The hotel also offer lunch packages which you can bring with you to Petra. Very convenient as the restaurants inside Petra are touristy expensive. I only had 1 day for Petra which is way too short for this enormous site. Be prepared to walk and climb a lot if you want to get the most out of Petra. I had to squeeze everything into 1 day and doing so I ended up making 25 km to see the highlights of Petra. If you have more time I would advice to buy a multi-day ticket. Let me guide you through the fascinating world of Petra.

Long walk... Breath taking views.... The photos are from 2 visits Enjoy !

Petra is iconic! Words can’t really explain it, you have to experience it. It is one of the 7 wonders of the world, trust me it is indeed a wonder. The monastery walk, Petra during the day and most amazing - Petra by Nights event! It is a mind blowing and explosive experience. One I will not be forgetting so soon. Petra! Red Rose City. Love it always! Petra! World Wonder!!!

There are no words to describe. You must visit and see for yourself... beautiful, stunning views. Make sure you have one full day at the list 6 hours. I spent 2 days and wasn't enough. Staff is super helpful, especially the security at the bus stop who helped me so much. Thank you. I took a buggy the second day as it helped me time wise to visit the monastery and get further and quicker. Make sure you have good walking shoes, hat 👒, sun protection, and water. There are plenty of places you can stop for tea and lunch at the Nabatean restaurant. Buy a Jordan Pass before you arrive. It includes your visa and tourist sides

One of the most extraordinary historical sites in Jordan. Petra is supposed as one of the seven wonders of the world. Bedouins there are tremendous, nonetheless of the horses and camels smell, petra is wow..

Very wonderful and charming, but you must pay attention to the treatment of donkeys in a good way by the children of the region. I did not like the absence of the children of the region in schools and their presence to work in Petra

No words can describe this beautiful place! I just can recommend to spend at least two days to appreciate every details without rushing and running. Try to go early in the morning, they open from 6am or go after 4pm so won't be to crowded and you will have a picture without other tourists.

If you love to walk and you're in good health, than this is for you! If you love history, than this is for you. It is one of the wonders of the world, so it is a must see when in Jordan. Very amazing to see, however exhausting it was to walk.

What wonderful experience i had from the very start til the end. Amazing rock formations, scenic views are totally awesome.

A historic place to visit! lots of emotions and it takes more than a day to see everything. You have to plan to spend the night there and that's what we did.

Amazing place! But the ticket price (50JD) for foreigners is too high. Local people pay only 1 JD.

I love the court room it's was amazing, all are amazing.. With 4 hrs of hike still there is more to discover ❤️❤️❤️

Simply amazing!!!! It's a must!!! Worth every step to the top. The view is amazing. Jordan is so beautiful and it's people try to make you feel at home :)

Such as amazing place. I prefer to visit Petra at April, May, September and October. Wear a good walking shoes and get your water bottle at least 4.

A must visit. Great for history lovers and those who want to hike. A couple of tips, go early morning (6am) in order to get the best tips. The hike to the view point and the monastery is something you should do if you are able to hike in the sun for long hours. Plenty of shops inside the site if you run out of water and locals will keep offering you tea as well. If you can afford a tour guide, it would definitely add to the experience as there isn’t much signage explaining things inside the site.

Absolutely breathtaking!! It was so amazing to visit this place the first time that I had to go back and experience it again. This place really does take you back in time. I visited during August and also in September. Both months were very very warm so plan on wearing loose fitting clothing and bring plenty of sunscreen and water. Definitely make sure you have plenty of time to explore the entire area, I probably spent about 8 hours there and will say that was sufficient time to see what we wanted to see!

Lots of walking. Don't forget to take water and comfy shoes! The views are awesome! It really feels unreal. For those of us history nerds, you'll have a visual feast. So much to see, to experience and enjoy. I walked around 26km during my one-day visit, so...yeah, lots of walking! You've been warned. Enjoyable visit and higly recommend going. Go early!! That way you avoid all the large tourist groups that arrive at around 7:30am-8:00am (so yeah, arrive before that!). That way you get cool pictures without many people!

Simply amazing and beautiful. This has to be one of the wonders of the world. There is a golf cart, for individuals with mobility issues. Everyone must go. ❤️

Great historical place to visit. Lots of hiking trails and places to see. Recommend minimum two days for Petra.

I visited Petra twice. I can say with confidence that this is definitely an interesting part of world history. The buildings and architecture of those days (as I understand the buildings 2000-3000 years ago) are amazing, how people built it without the technology we have today. Roman amphitheater. And they are still standing. Of course, deep conclusions can be drawn from their history, although historical information differs depending on which source you listen to. I encourage you to go up to the building at the end of Petra, which has approximately 960 steps up to it - it's worth it. There is an amazing view there! In general, if you are in Jordan, please do not miss this opportunity to visit Petra and delve into its history. Highly recommend!

Stunning place. Every glance is woth while. So full and rich of human heritage and culture. You get a sight so memorable and rewarding wherever you look. The views are stunning and mesmerizing no matter where you are.

Pictures do not do Petra justice. It is utterly magnificent, a sprawling city carved from stone. It’s much larger, grander and more elaborate than any photo, and is well worth seeing in person.

one gorgeous place , road trip from Amman was very good too, weather was great ( even with high temperature , breeze was refreshing ) very hospitable and welcoming locals , convenient reasonably-priced souvenirs.

(Translated by Google) I don't know who, but we flew to Jordan for the sake of Petra and the Wadi Rum desert. Petra is beauty and delight, uniqueness and mystery. We were in early May. The heat is incredible. Therefore, I would advise to go here in winter. One day is too little for Petra. I suppose that you can get around all the corners if you come at 6 am and leave at 6 pm. We only had 5-6 hours of time. We managed to reach the restaurant. If we had been in reserve for another hour and a half, we would have reached the monastery. We didn't climb into caves or churches, we didn't climb the canyons - there was no time. In principle, walking is not very tiring, I thought it would be harder. A headdress, comfortable sneakers, water are required. A day is enough for a quick inspection, for a more detailed one you need a couple of days. (Original) Не знаю, как кто, а мы летели в Иорданию ради Петры и пустыни Вади Рам. Петра - это красота и восторг, уникальность и таинственность. Мы были в первых числах мая. Жара неимоверная. Поэтому ехать сюда я бы советовала зимой. Одного дня для Петры катастрофически мало. Предполагаю, что можно обойти все уголки, если прийти в 6 утра, а уйти в 6 вечера. У нас было всего 5-6 часов времени. Успели дойти до ресторана. Будь в запасе еще полтора часа, дошли бы до монастыря. Ни в пещеры, ни в церкви не поднимались, по каньонам не лазили - не было времени. Идти в принципе не очень утомительно, я думала, что будет тяжелее. Обязательны головной убор, удобные кроссовки, вода. На беглый осмотр достаточно и дня, на более детальный надо пару дней.

(Translated by Google) Where I am? Petra Jordan Historical site Volodymyr Prudnikov 5358 points month ago Petra is an ancient city, in the past the capital of the Nabataean kingdom, now the most popular tourist attraction in Jordan, one of the seven modern wonders of the world. In Petra we got from the Egyptian city of Taba, first by boat across the bay to Aqaba, and then by tourist bus. drove through the desert where from time to time we met lonely trees and Bedouin tents. From the place where we were dropped off the bus, we walked for another 20 minutes, this distance could also be covered by a camel, or by carriage. Walking along the canyon we were looking forward to meeting with this extraordinary city about which we read a lot and watched broadcasts. After passing a rather narrow gorge, we opened our mouths to a stunning view that suddenly opened before us. Before us was the main temple of Petra El-Khazne. It is perfectly preserved, although it was built in the first century. We spent a long time examining the temple, admiring the talent of the people who skillfully cut it out in the rock. Petra occupies a fairly large territory, where you can see the amphitheater, the legacy colonnades Romans, crypts, monastery. For entertainment you can ride a camel, buy a local souvenir, take pictures with a beautiful background. Petra is really beautiful and although the path to her is not close, it's worth it. (Original) Где я? Петра Иордания Историческое место Volodymyr Prudnikov 5358 баллов месяц назад Петра-это древний город,в прошлом столица Набатейского царства, сейчас- самая популярная достопримечательность Иордании,одно из семи современных чудес света.В Петру мы добирались из египетского города Таба, сначала на корабле через залив до Акабы,а затем на туристическом автобусе.Долго ехали через пустыню где время от времени встречались одинокие деревья и палатки бедуинов.От места где нас высадили с автобуса,мы ещё минут 20 шли пешком,это расстояние можно было преодолеть также на верблюде,или на повозке.Идя по каньену мы с нетерпением ждали встречи с этим необыкновенным городом о котором много читали и смотрели передач.Пройдя довольно узкое ущелье,мы открыли рты перед внезапно открывшимся перед нами потрясающим видом.Перед нами был главный храм Петры Эль-Хазне.Он прекрасно сохранился,хотя построен ещё в первом веке.Мы долго осматривали храм,восхищаясь талантом людей искусно вырубивших его в скале.Петра занимает довольно большую территорию,где можно увидеть амфитеатр,коллонады-наследие римлян,склепы,монастырь.Для развлечения можно покататься на верблюде,купить местный сувенир, сфотографироваться на красивом фоне.Петра действительно прекрасна и хоть путь к ней не близок,это того стоит.

This is what I have dreamed since I was a kid. I definitely was Indiana Jones.

I am a Jordanian citizen from the capital, it was my first time to visit it.. but I'm sure I will back again and again and AGAIN !!! It was more than great 😍

(Translated by Google) One of the new seven wonders of the world. Although the walk is long and difficult, it is very worthwhile. It is so spectacular as to be in a movie. (Original) 世界新七大奇景之一，雖然步行的路途遙遠又艱辛，但非常值得，壯觀到彷彿置身在電影之中。

A real world wonder and a must to visit.. needs a long walking distance to reach so not recommended for small kids and elderly unless rent a club car

Breathtakingly beautiful site, loved the hike up to the Monastery. There are so many hidden paths and trails that take you to different viewpoints. It's an amazing place to visit and revisit.

It was one of the most astonishing places I've been to. It's definitely a must-see. Pictures don't do justice to Petra.

Amazing experience, we can't manage the whole city, it's so huge, but even one day definitely worth it. It took about 18km from Petra main Entrance to Monastery and back with some looks around. I will share more info later.

This is one of the majestic places you will ever see in your life. This is a must do while alive, do not make the mistake and not see this wonder. There’s so much to do and see here. Make sure you start right at the beginning of the day, to make sure you see everything. I would recommend buying the two day pass, it really does take a long time to see everything especially if you climb up to the monastery.

Historically magnificent place.

Wonderful place just amazing

Petra established possibly as early as 312 BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It is believed that Petra was home to roughly 30,000 people and was abandoned in the year 106 A.D. Site has been a UNESCO World Heritage since 1985. Petra area is something like 3000 - 3500 ft. above sea level. HOT during summer months. February till April should be OK, later the weather turns unpredictable (Dusty), not healthy & not good for photography either. September till November should also be OK. Hints for Photographers: 1-UV filter is recommended as to protect lens from dust & to reduce high UV level affecting exposures. 2- Wide angle lens is also recommended as some places are tight. If you have a DSLR camera then you may need a 12 - 24 mm lens. There will be much walking on the sand, tour may take several hours....It is worth it.

Get your hat .. grab your 5L water bottle 😂😂😂 and be ready for the unique adventure ❤️❤️❤️

The petra represents a huge heritage that inhabited in these colorful stones. It is very beautiful, colorful, breathtaking and spread over a large area. Passing through these colorful stones, we see theaters, treasury, monasteries, tombs, temples, churches, houses, stone arts and many topography and it gives a wonderful experience. It is so huge that we get tired but it does not end. The most special of these is the pink sandstone cliff which named it Rose City.

Good service

(Translated by Google) very nice (Original) جدا جميل

(Translated by Google) This place is really very interesting and memorable for me. Imagine a building carved into a rock, very tall, majestic and sturdy. The architecture is amazing. There are amphitheaters, former drains, caves, former palaces, museums, statues, water pools, carvings in rock etc. We can ride a camel, horse or car to go to the palace ... especially for the elderly, who are disabled / use wheelchairs. We recommend that you wear a hat because it is hot during the day, understand the desert area, bring water and wear sports shoes.

It is a charming place to visit, especially for foreigners! Petra and wadi rum could be the most amazing things that you can see in Jordan, the rest you could find it elsewhere in the world

PETRA is truly a beautiful experience. My words nor these pictures can truly describe the beauty and amazing artistry of PETRA. The beauty, charm and awesomeness of the city of PETRA and the World Wonder can only truly be appreciated the the experience of being present!

Great time to visit now, to avoid the hoards of tourists due to COVID.

One of the oldest inhabitant places dating back to 7000 BC. Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans in the 2nd BC. They were nomadic Arabs that used the location for trade routes. Because of its large size intricate design it is considered a wonder of the world.

Awesome! The words are not enough to describe the architectural beauty, combined with its rocks ... definitely a place to visit, its people are super friendly ... I recommend arriving early in the morning to observe well without the crowded crowd, enjoy more of the place and make extraordinary pictures

Can't miss this one! Amazing! You feel like you're in an Indiana Jones movie!

A must do ! We arrived at 12:30 and came back at 5:30. It was not enough to see everything. The sun goes down at 4.30pm. A beautiful walk, a different and unique experience. Very expensive to get in though (50JOD per person). Enjoy the photos I uploaded !

You know the feeling that you need to visit some place, but you don't know why. And Petra is like this. You need to walk and enjoy to the colorful rocks and amazing nature either historical ruins... and all best views on the hills are making your life experience 😀. Yes, worthing of world wonder 👌

This is one of the most magical historical place on this planet. It is huge, and if you are interested to get to know it take your time, do not rush. Look around and enjoy the marvellous land. The stunning and colourful stones around. Recommend to start from the back. There is a 30-45 minutes trail to get to the Monastery. Few people take this way. If you like nature,rocks,bedouin tea than you will be amazed. And you have to take the 1200 steps only 1 way down 🤫 Bring cash with you if you want to buy tea or water from bedouins. In some shops you can pay by card over 5 JOD.

My first world wonder. Amazing! Everything you see is spectacular. But you have to know that you need to walk a lot! Wear comfortable shoes because they can be damaged. It opens at 6 am so if you go early on, you get it all for yourself. At night, the show is very transporting. AMAZING.

Simply amazing. There are a lot of kilometers of steps to walk until the biggest temple but it's worth it. There was something I didn't expect: a lot of local people acting like your shadow in order to get some money from you. They are quite annoying and you have to skip them every single time. I strongly recommend visiting this place once in your life.

The highlight of our trip to Jordan. It's incredible, much bigger than we thought (we did a 18km-long hike!), and it's just amazing. We did pack water, hat, sunblock and a portable battery-driven fan, but the temperature was actually not that high (around 23-25 degrees). You will sweat, though, especially if you climb to the Monastery, so light breathable clothing is recommended. The local community tries to sell you stuff, but they're not clinging, and a "No" is usually enough if you're not interested in buying anything. There's a restaurant owned by Crowne Plaza that serves a buffet (it was clean and the food was good), and on your wait out, there's the Cave Bar which is convenient if you have to wait for your hotel transfer, as you can drink something cool there and use the hotel's restroom to do your thing and clean your hands and face (and shoes! They have a polishing machine there, very practical!). It was an excellent day tour, and you should try to enjoy every minute of it! P.S.: although I loved Petra, there's only a negative thing: the animals seem miserable and the Animal Protection Society or the government should look into this, because they seem to be abused by the locals and exploited for tourism purposes. That was heartbreaking, but apart from that, loved Petra.

Many on my group thought it was fantastic and really enjoyed the visit climbing to the heights. I prefer the photography of a truly beautiful historical venue but overrun by tacky tourism. Avoid.

Petra is an absolutely stunning destination, and it exceeded all of my expectations. The ancient city is truly a marvel of human achievement, and the sheer scale of the structures is awe-inspiring. Walking through the narrow canyon and emerging to see the Treasury for the first time is an experience that I will never forget. The intricate carvings and attention to detail are remarkable, and it's easy to spend hours exploring this area alone. But Petra is so much more than just the Treasury. The Monastery is another highlight, and the hike to reach it is well worth the effort. Along the way, you'll pass by a variety of other structures and ruins, each with their own unique story. One thing that really stood out to me was the natural beauty surrounding Petra. The rock formations are absolutely stunning, and there are plenty of hiking trails to explore the area further. Whether you want to go for a leisurely walk or a more challenging hike, there's something for everyone. Overall, Petra is a destination that I would highly recommend to anyone. It's a true wonder of the world, and the combination of history, architecture, and natural beauty is truly unparalleled.

This whole place is magical and full of jaw dropping scenery and beautiful architectural marvels. Everywhere you see, hundreds of beautiful stoned carved palaces and sleeping places. I highly recommend visiting Petra once in a lifetime.

One of the wonders of the world. You will be fascinated. I rode the cart down and back because of a foot injury. You will pay extra for that, but it’s worth it. I loved seeing the architecture in the rocks. I also liked seeing the camels there. I climbed a small cliff and got to see amazing sights. Took lots of photos. I would highly recommend

Worth to get lost inside. Truly magnificent view. The weather was amazing and the people are very friendly. Definitely worth going back.

Basically a new world wonder run by a band of barbarians! I was catching glimpses of marvels of nature and man craftsmanship combined, but I was mostly looking at my feet trying to avoid stepping into the dung. Camels, donkeys, horses and even dogs are mistreated and used in most awful ways just so organised mafia of locals can pull up a few extra dinars from the tourists. To be perfectly honest there wouldn't be any of this if park officials and management didn't allow and probably profit from whole scheme. 5 stars for the sights - 1 star for the whole experience

What an amazing experience to visit the Petra historic site. It is recommended to visit for two days, so there is enough time to visit not only the Treasury, but also the Monastery, and to hike around (there are a few hiking trails, one of them gives a view in the Treasury from above).

Magic place. Petra is one of the most wonderful places I have ever been to. Everyone who has a chance to visit, I highly recommend it. You need a full day for visiting this place.

Grateful to see this wonder! Could have used the donkey ride to The Monastery 😅 Spent about 5hrs here, could have stayed longer for sure. There were a few little thing I couldn't explore in that. time frame

One of the most impressive places I have ever visited. So many breathtaking views in one place! I will definitely visit Petra again if I have a chance.

A guide is recommended. Ours was informative and insightful. There is so much to take in. Lots of history and visual interests. The stone carvings are amazing with sculptured detail that withstands the test of time. Visit the site during cool temperatures. It was 115 during our visit. Bring lots of water. Visit the restaurant and take a break. Lots of opportunities to ride a horse, donkey or camel to the sites if you get tired. This site is famous for movie sets. The visit is worth the trip. Plan on hiking for at least 14 miles. Wear comfortable footwear. Bring snacks to refill your energy during the hike. Jordan is the holy land with beautiful people, culture and good food.

An archaeological site having great historical significance. Spellbinding and astonishing. Unbelievably beautiful stone carving. One is surprised to see the structures crafted from the rocks. People living there thousand of years ago had amazing abilities. A must visit site if you have interest is knowing about the ancient civilizations of the world.

One of the most amazing places I've ever been to in my life. Thankful it's still pretty pristine and hasn't become an obnoxious tourist trap. I would go there over and over and over if it were half as close...

Once in a lifetime experience.....!!!

(Translated by Google) It is a place that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. They are monuments carved into the rock very well preserved. (Original) È un luogo che tutti dovrebbero visitare almeno una volta nella vita. Sono monumenti scavati nella roccia molto ben conservati.

(Translated by Google) Super impression !!! The place inspires delight, fear, reverence, and wonder - am I really here? Ancient monument, the city of Nabateans ... We were lucky with the guide. I learned many interesting things. The view of the Treasury made a special impression. After a narrow road through the canyon, an impressive panorama opens up! They did not ride horses, because their ruthless exploitation made a depressing impression on me. (Original) Супер враження!!! Місце вселяє і захват, і страх, і благоговіння, і подив - невже це я тут наяву? Древня пам'ятка, місто набатеїв... З екскурсоводом нам пощастило. Багато цікавих речей довідалися. Особливе враження справив вигляд на Скарбницю. Після вузької дороги каньйоном, відкривається вражаюча панорама! На конях не каталися, бо нещадна їх експлуатація справила на мене гнітюче враження.

(Translated by Google) It's definitely great to see Peter once in a lifetime, but once that's really enough. Even if you go a lot in the morning, you won't avoid the crowds and donkey-drawn carts will take you all the way to the treasury.

(Translated by Google) Pétra (from πέτρα petra, “rock” in ancient Greek; البتراء Al-Butrāʾ in Arabic), from its Semitic name Reqem or Raqmu (“the Bariolea”), is a Nabataean city located in the south of present-day Jordan. It is the major tourist pole of this country. Created in Antiquity, towards the end of the 8th century BC. AD, by the Edomites, it was then occupied around the sixth century BC. AD by the Nabataeans who made it prosper thanks to its position on the caravan route transporting incense, spices and other precious products between southern Arabia, Egypt, Syria and the Mediterranean . By the 7th century, the modification of trade routes and earthquakes led to the gradual abandonment of the city. Petra sheltered at its peak up to 25,000 inhabitants. Fallen into oblivion in modern times, the site was rediscovered in 1812 by the Western world thanks to the Swiss explorer Jean Louis Burckhardt. The many buildings, whose monumental facades were directly carved into the rock, make it a unique ensemble which has been inscribed, since December 6, 1985, on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The area around the site has also been a national archaeological park since 1993. Erosion, rains and tourism - in constant progression since the end of the twentieth century - are however a threat to the preservation of the site and actions are being taken to stop the destruction of the monuments. (Original) Pétra (de πέτρα petra, « rocher » en grec ancien ; البتراء Al-Butrāʾ en arabe), de son nom sémitique Reqem ou Raqmu (« la Bariolée »), est une cité nabatéenne située au sud de l'actuelle Jordanie. C'est le pôle touristique majeur de ce pays. Créée dans l'Antiquité, vers la fin du viiie siècle av. J.-C., par les Édomites, elle est ensuite occupée vers le vie siècle av. J.-C. par les Nabatéens qui la font prospérer grâce à sa position sur la route des caravanes transportant l'encens, les épices et d'autres produits précieux entre l'Arabie du Sud, l'Égypte, la Syrie et la Méditerranée. Vers le viiie siècle, la modification des routes commerciales et des séismes entraîneront l'abandon progressif de la ville. Pétra a abrité à son apogée jusqu'à 25 000 habitants. Tombé dans l'oubli à l'époque moderne, le site est redécouvert en 1812 par le monde occidental grâce à l'explorateur suisse Jean Louis Burckhardt. Les nombreux bâtiments, dont les façades monumentales ont été directement taillées dans la roche, en font un ensemble unique qui est inscrit, depuis le 6 décembre 1985, sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. La zone autour du site est en outre, depuis 1993, un parc national archéologique. L'érosion, les pluies et le tourisme — en progression constante depuis la fin du xxe siècle — sont cependant une menace pour la préservation du site et des actions sont entreprises pour enrayer la destruction des monuments.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful archaeological sites on earth is undoubtedly the city of Petra built by the Nabataean people of traders. It is accessed by going through a narrow and spectacular gorge. The rock is very colorful and the streaks of different intensity of tint create fantastic designs. The most intense emotion is when at the end of the gully you can see the splendid face of the entrance to the site. An unforgettable wonder. (Original) Una dei siti archeologici più belli della terra è senz'altro la città di Petra costruita dai Nabatei popolo di commercianti. Ci si accede percorrendo una stretta e spettacolare gola.

L'emozione più intensa è quando alla fine del canalone si scorge la splendida faccita dell'ingresso del sito. Una meraviglia indimenticabile.

Wonderful place !!! Went to the Petra is the happiness of my life...

Visiting Petra was a dream, it's a good long walk wear comfy shoes, one can hire horse ride to the treasury but it's beautiful to experience the walk, it can rain any season so be prepared, there are three trails so plan your day according, recommend you start early morming, all three trails are a beautiful scenic hike, must visit is monastery for awesome view points and photos, one needs minimum 2 days to complete the visit, you can buy two days ticket in advance as a combo hence do your research well, food and water is available inside but is very expensive...good place to buy souvenirs, you can bargain to get a good deal

So nice, I only wish it hadn't rain the day we visited.

(Translated by Google) Petra was established roughly in 312 BC as the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom. [4] It assumed a prominent position for many years, as its location on the Silk Road, and the middle of the civilizations of Mesopotamia, Palestine and Egypt, played a major role that made the Nabataeans hold the reins of trade between the civilizations of these regions and their inhabitants. The city is located on the slopes of Jabal al-Madbah, between a group of steep rocky mountains that form the northwestern flank of the Arabian Peninsula, specifically Wadi Araba, which extends from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. [5] The site of Petra remained undiscovered to the West throughout the Ottoman period, until it was rediscovered by the Swiss orientalist Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. Petra was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985. [6] It was also chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. [7] Today, Petra is a symbol of Jordan, and the most attractive place for tourists in the Kingdom. [8] It is also one of the most important tourist destinations for world leaders. [9] The city celebrated the millionth visitor for the first time in the history of Jordanian tourism, in November 2019 (Original) أُسست البتراء تقريبًا في عام 312 ق.م كعاصمة لمملكة الأنباط.[4] وقد تبوأت مكانةً مرموقةً لسنوات طويلة، حيث كان لموقعها على طريق الحرير، والمتوسط لحضارات بلاد ما بين النهرين وفلسطين ومصر، دورًا كبيرًا جعل من دولة الأنباط تمسك بزمام التجارة بين حضارات هذه المناطق وسكانها. وتقع المدينة على منحدرات جبل المذبح، بين مجموعة من الجبال الصخرية الشاهقة، التي تُشكل الخاصرة الشمالية الغربية لشبه الجزيرة العربية، وتحديدًا وادي عربة، الممتد من البحر الميت وحتى خليج العقبة.[5] بقي موقع البتراء غير مكتشف للغرب طيلة الفترة العثمانية، حتى أعاد اكتشافها المستشرق السويسري يوهان لودفيغ بركهارت عام 1812. وقد أُدرجت مدينة البتراء على لائحة التراث العالمي التابعة لليونسكو في عام 1985.[6] كما تم اختيارها كواحدة من عجائب الدنيا السبع الجديدة عام 2007.[7] وتُعد البتراء اليوم، رمزًا للأردن، وأكثر الأماكن جذبًا للسياح على مستوى المملكة.[8] كما أنها واحدة من أهم الوجهات السياحية لزعماء العالم.[9] ولقد احتفلت المدينة بالزائر رقم مليون لأول مرة في تاريخ السياحة الأردنيّة، وذلك في شهر تشرين الثاني/ نوفمبر 2019

Petra (Arabic: ٱلْبَتْرَاء‎, romanized: Al-Batrāʾ; Ancient Greek: Πέτρα, "Rock"), originally known to its inhabitants in as Raqmu or Raqēmō (𐢚𐢛𐢓𐢈),[3][4] is a historic and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies around Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin surrounded by mountains which form the eastern flank of the Arabah valley that runs from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba.[5] The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC,[6] and the Nabataeans might have settled in what would become the capital city of their kingdom, as early as the 4th century BC.[7] However, archaeological work has only discovered evidence of Nabataean presence dating back to the second century BC,[8] by which time Petra had become their capital.[6] The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.[6][9]

You have to see this beauty area! COVID has made travel difficult, but as soon as you can come and visit, do it. Tickets are pricey, but it goes to support the site, which is necessary. There are many vendors and tour guides inside.

(Translated by Google) Yes, this place will not leave you indifferent. especially the red desert with its dust storms. This is something. I had a funny case here. There is a long narrow gorge at the entrance to the historic complex. This is the corridor to the main gate. Otherwise, you can't get here. In this gorge, an elderly man approached me and showed me an ancient Roman coin, which he allegedly found here. She really looked very old and genuine. He bid $ 100. After half an hour of trading, I bought it from him for $ 5. And happy came to the complex. My surprise knew no bounds when I saw there similar coins that lay in bulk on the ground and were sold for one cent) (Original) Да, это место не оставит вас равнодушным. особенно красная пустыня с ее пылевыми бурями. Это нечто. У меня забавный случай здесь был. При входе в исторический комплекс есть длинное узкое ущелье. Это коридор к главным воротам. Иначе не добраться сюда. В этом ущелье ко мне подошел пожилой человек и показал древнюю римскую монету, которую якобы он нашел здесь. Она реально выглядела очень старой и подлинной. Он предложил цену 100 долларов. Через полчаса торгов я купил у него ее за 5 долларов. И счастливый пришел в комплекс.

The “Rose-red City,” capital of the Nabataean Kingdom, famous for the tombs and temples carved into its sandstone cliffs. The nomadic Nabataean people settled in the desert mountains of present-day southern Jordan more than 10,000 years ago, founding a settlement, Raqmu, that was to become a trading center for the region. Trade with the Greek and Roman empires brought prosperity, and the growing city became known as Petra, Greek for “stone.” Carved into the rock. Petra’s location in steep-sided mountain gorges led the Nabataeans to develop a distinctive architecture, carving tombs and temples that mimicked the Greco-Roman Classical style but also included some characteristically Nabataean elements. The finest examples of this are the famous Al-Khazneh (“the Treasury,” although it is in fact a mausoleum) at the entrance to the city and the Monastery, Al-Deir (actually a hilltop temple). Also of note is the row of four Royal Tombs—the Tomb of Urns, Silk Tomb, Corinthian Tomb, and Palace Tomb—each featuring a different Classical genre. The city also has a huge theater hewn from the rock and a small number of free-standing buildings, such as the Qasr-al-Bint, the main temple of the city. Several of the soft sandstone buildings have suffered from erosion, and even in the best preserved ones the details have lost clarity.

I love this place ❤️

The most amazing place on the Near East. The city of ghosts may have emerged from an oriental fairy-tale. You enter a long, dark and winding tunnel with high cliffs. Colors of rocks change between red, blue and dark. After half of our hour the tunnel ends with striking flesh of light - and you see beautiful rock-hewn tomb. It actually seems a palace, rather than a tomb. And then there are so many other interesting things to explore in this wonderful location. Other royal tombs, remnants of walls and palaces.

One life time experience, almost for myself! Hardly other tourists in sight due to the current Corona pandemic.

It is a febulous place and it is a special place. Because it has a unique history and architecture.

Unique place

An ancient ruin, a treasure of the world, one of seven wonders of the world. Its very amazing place to visit, but it is highly recommended for everyone. The cost also cheap and affordable. Jordan and its Petra is the best place everrrr

It’s a beautiful unique place to visit been there more than once and every time I discover new things and places. Prepare to walk. The entrance was renovated and looks very good also the museum looks like an interesting place to visit although I didn’t have the time unfortunately. Only bad thing is that the government needs to find a solution for all these people inside whose trying to make money from tourists the wrong way.

Magical! I strongly suggest the "petra by night" as well..

A must visit. Great for history

Absolutely stunning place - the natural landscape is by itself amazing. Add to this the fact that you can find carved a lot of buildings - temples, amphitheater, the treasury, the monastery - amazing. This place should be included in the list of world wonders.

Simply amazing. Make sure to plan ahead, too many things to see, if you are for a short day trip, make sure to start early and plan ahead

Must visit! Lovely place. Unforgettable experience

Awesome. Petra is a huge place with many things to visit. Bring comfy shoes as this is sandy and rocky if you want to the hike to the Monastery , Treasury views or other amazing views.

Fantastic place can't miss !! Has been voted the third Wonder of the modern World!!! Very tiring though and very hot but it is worth it!!! Must arrive also to the Monastery, it is worth it !!!!

A place of incredible beauty. The rugged landscape, the beautiful archaeological monuments and the friendly and helpful Bedouin make this place a memory that will stay with you for a lifetime. When visiting Jordan, Petra should be at the top of your bucket list.

Of course, a must visit site in Jordan. Our local guide made us an amazing tour. Unique place, full with history and Jordanian spirit.

Prepare comfortable shoes. If you want to see everything you may need 6-7 hours. And this is if you keep your breaks really short. It is not too hard, but definitely not for everyone. The main sight is on an easy distance, around 4-5 km in one way. And there are electric golf cars.

Definitely a must see in Jordan. Nice to walk anytime after 1pm so you're in shade and not burning.

Unbelievable & impressive - well deserved world wonder status. Would recommend to spend two days if you’re not a very fast & fit walker / climber

Really fantastic site. Total 7 KM one side walk with half of it on a cliff walk. Really hard to complete round trip of 14KM walk from visitors centre parking.

If you're in Jordon. Petra is a must Visit Place . Historic information plus Amazing scenary you will get their. One of the top location in Jordon

An amazing place and a must see if you are visiting Jordan. The walk to the monastery from the visitor center is long and the last 45 minutes at least is all uphill. So be prepared with sunglasses and chilled water in a flask. My suggestion would be not to use the horses or donkeys to go up the hill as it seems like a cruel experience for the animals.

We had a private guided tour for two people and we spent a whole day here and it still wasn't enough. We had time to explore only the small percentage of architecture on the main path but there was so much more to see. Mind you, we were not stopping to take copious amounts of photos or climbing to the top to get photos of the Treasury for the Insta. There is just simply so much to see there. We had to rush through most of it so that we would also have time to explore the Little Petra. I would say once you see this place, there is really nothing to see in Little Petra that will blow you away. You must be in great health and must be able to walk in scorching heat if you want to explore this place fully. Alternatively, you can explore up until the Treasury, take photos from the top and just head back. But you will miss the real wealth this place offers. The Treasury isn't even the tip of the iceberg. I highly recommend to hire a horse to at least get you from the gate to near the Treasury because you will be able to conserve energy to explore the rest of the area by yourself on foot. The walk from the gate to the Treasury is easily 30-40 minutes for young people in good shape. We didn't do that so we were truly exhausted by the end of it. Best way to see this place is to explore it for at least 2 days, if you have time.

Petra, one of the natural seven wonders of the world. I hope everyone is it a chance to visit. If you do I would encourage you to get a tour guide. Do you have an option of walking down the valley which again I would highly encourage you to do. You can ride a golf cart up if you have mobility issues. It is a pretty long walk back up hills so I would do that if you are not good walking long distance. There are a lot of things to see that you can explore past the treasury which is the main attraction. You can also pay $10-$15 and ride a camel. It was a very good experience but you have to be careful because you need to have a good balance. they do sell water and food and other drinks at the bottom so you don’t really need to carry anything in on the way up you could walk halfway and ride a horse halfway that is a pretty fun option as well.

Amazing place you just can’t stop taking pictures. Their are quite some heavy hikes but with beautiful views and treasures.

Well worth trying to walk all the way up to the monastery (not just the treasure). Is a bit of a trek but totally worth it, and much quieter as only around 10-20% of visitors go there

Very interesting site. Better to keep one day to visit all because only the path to Monaster (end monument) is about 2,5h. Considering also the time for shooting this amazing statues, the day is really full.

Simply amazing. I felt like I was in a movie the entire walk, using the back door. Absolutely incredible. A truly wonder of the world. It was a dream come true.. Everyone must see it and imagine living there ages ago..

Must see site. Incredible once in a lifetime experience with my beautiful girlfriend. Use the shuttle to take you down and back. The walk is long and tiring. Will definitely go back.

Amazing place. If you go early in the morning you have all the place to yourself. And is the temp is cooler. Lots of walking under the extreme sun. Bring lots of water and sunscreen.

Breathtaking views of the Nabateans ancient city and wonder of the world. Ruins are remarkable and there lots of them everywhere. Good hikes to get views and tombs Amazing experience

Plan a full day(7-8 hours), wear comfortable shoes and go for the extra hikes - the monastery, high place of sacifice and the view of the treasury from the top. It can be done in one day just start early enough :)

What an amazing sight to see. We went early and start at 7 am, this was nice because a lot of the crowds were not there at the time so it was quick to get a ticket and most attractions did not have too many tourists around them. We saw almost everything and even did a long hike to see the top of the Treasury. It took us around 7 hours. We also came here in August, I would not recommend due to the heat. My favorites were Al Siq, the Treasury and the Monastery. Glad to be able to see Petra and cross off something else from my bucket list.

Amazing. * Night Petra beautiful (it is necessary to pay the extra fee 17 JOD per person), many people. * Trip from Little Petra to Monastery and then continue throught Petra to Visiting Center. Perfect idea to see more. * Trip with horses above Petra (one hour).
