Petra

Overview

Petra is a southern Jordanian historic and archaeological city. Petra, known for its water conduit system and rock-cut architecture, is also referred to as the “Rose City” due to the hue of the stone used in its construction. John Burgon once described Petra as “a rose-red city half as old as time” in a poem from 1845.
It is situated in a basin encircled by mountains that forms the eastern flank of the Arabah valley, which stretches from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba, next to the peak known as Jabal Al-Madbah.The Khazneh can be reached immediately from the Siq, a 1.2-kilometer gorge known for its stunning views, providing access to the city. The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC.

Things to do in Petra

Al-Siq
The most popular path in Petra begins at the visitor centre and travels through The Siq and ends at The Treasury. The main trail continues beyond the Siq, Royal Tombs, Colonnaded Street, and terminates near Qasr Al-Bint (The Girl’s Palace), despite the misconception held by most visitors that it ends at The Treasury, the primary feature of the ancient city. 
Petra Museum
Situated on the primary pedestrian thoroughfare, the primary Petra gate is just a three-minute stroll away. The store is open seven days a week, year-round, from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.The exhibition, which comprises of five galleries displaying information on the history of Petra as well as the lives and civilization of the Nabateans, includes 280 artefacts from various eras.
Petra at Night Experience
While visiting Petra in the daytime is amazing, seeing it by night with 1,800 candles lit is simply incredible! Follow the candlelit walk through the Siq to the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) and take in the eerie Bedouin music there. Monday through Thursday, at 8.30 p.m. until 10 p.m., are when the tours end. You want to be sure not to miss the concert, so give yourself plenty of time to stroll about the Siq!
Horse/Camel Rides
From the hilly region of Petra, you will ride a horse/Camel to the wide desert plains and craggy rocks of Wadi Rum. Also, you can go on the horse/camel to take pictures!
