The most famous destination in Jordan and one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world, Petra is a spectacular city. Named the Rose City for its red sandstone cliffs and monuments, the ancient city of Petra is like a surreal journey into our past and is best known for its buildings which have been carved out of the cliff sides. Step back in time and walk the gigantic paths, canyons and valley ways of those who lived before us and explore the stunning Al Khazneh Temple, The Monastery and the pillars of Hadrian Gate.
