About Petra - Petra, Ma'an Governorate, Jordan

Petra is Jordan's most iconic landmark and one of the Middle East's greatest archaeological wonders. The ancient Nabataean capital is carved directly into pink sandstone cliffs and reveals itself dramatically as you walk through the Siq — the narrow, winding gorge that leads to the legendary Treasury. The city was once an essential trade hub for caravans carrying incense, spices, and silk. Beyond the Treasury, Petra holds temples, tombs, theaters, and monasteries that reward curious travelers with stunning views. In the evening, the site transforms during Petra by Night, where thousands of candles illuminate the rock facades, creating an almost magical atmosphere that makes the visit unforgettable.
