Petra (Jordan) from Sharm El Sheikh
What to expect in Petra
Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans, carved into pink sandstone cliffs more than 2,000 years ago. The path leads through the Siq, a narrow gorge about 1.2 km long, which suddenly opens onto the façade of the Treasury, Al-Khazneh — the image everyone knows from films.
- The Siq and the Treasury.
- The Street of Façades, the theatre and the Royal Tombs.
- For the energetic — the climb to the Monastery, Ad-Deir (around 800 steps).
