Be prepared for the breathtaking sight of this 2000-year-old monument which resembles a Greek temple with an urn at the top that was once reputed to hold priceless treasures.

The main entrance into Petra is this narrow gorge bordered by cliffs over 300 feet high.

A challenging, but worthwhile trek takes you to this spectacular monastery, the largest monument in Petra.

You’ll see carved monuments on the sides of mountains and striking views at this site, but set aside a half day to include the long trip to get there.

Amazingly, the ruins of this 6th or 8th century church were not discovered until the 1990s.

This street is lined with tall tombs carved into the mountainside.
