Why Petra Should Be at the Top of Your Travel List
Petra stands as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World for compelling reasons. This ancient Nabataean city, carved into pink sandstone cliffs over 2,000 years ago, offers visitors an unparalleled journey through time. The dramatic narrow gorge known as the Siq leads to the iconic Treasury, made famous by Indiana Jones, but this is just the beginning of what awaits explorers.
The archaeological site spans an incredible 6 kilometers, with experts believing that only 15% of the ancient city has been excavated. This means every visit to Petra offers the potential for discovering something new, whether you’re marveling at the Royal Tombs carved into towering cliffs or making the challenging 800-step climb to the Monastery (Ad Deir).

Making the Most of Your Petra Experience
Essential Petra Highlights Not to Miss
Begin your journey through the Siq, the dramatic 1.2-kilometer narrow gorge that builds anticipation before revealing the Treasury. The best photography time for the Treasury is between 9-11 AM when sunlight illuminates the carved façade.
Plan to explore the Royal Tombs, offering impressive cliff-carved structures and panoramic views over the archaeological site. For the adventurous, the hike to the Monastery provides one of Petra’s most rewarding experiences, despite the challenging 800-step climb.
Don’t miss the Petra by Night experience, available Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. This magical event illuminates the Siq and Treasury with thousands of candles, creating an unforgettable atmospheric journey.
Hidden Gems for the Curious Explorer
Visit the High Place of Sacrifice for spectacular panoramic views and a more peaceful experience away from main tourist routes. The Garden Temple offers an authentic interaction with local Bedouins and traditional mint tea in a scenic valley setting.
Little Petra (Siq Al-Barid), just a short drive from the main site, provides beautifully carved tombs in a more intimate setting. This lesser-known gem offers insight into Nabataean life without the crowds of the main archaeological area.
How Many Days Do I Need for Petra?
Allow at least two full days to properly explore Petra’s vast archaeological complex. Start early (around 7 AM when gates open) to beat crowds and heat. Wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring plenty of water – you’ll be walking several kilometers on varied terrain.
Consider staying multiple nights to fully appreciate Petra’s different moods throughout various times of day. The changing light creates dramatically different photographic opportunities, from the golden morning glow on the Treasury to the mystical evening illumination during Petra by Night.
