Favorite Thing: The site is enormous. Incredibly, many 'do' Petra in an exhausting one day trip - the highlights being the Siq, the Treasury, the Monastery and those remains in between. To put it into perspective, it took us one and half hours walking downhill from the Monastery to the entrance (and the directest route possible!).
The bets option if you have time is to stagger your trip over 2 or 3 days. Its not a cheap option - JD11,13,16 for 1,2 or 3 days off-peak, double during the high season (and days are consecutive) but it is worth it - Petra is one of the most extraordinary sites.

Fondest Memory: Just about everything but the first view of the Treasury on Day 1 and the finally reaching the Monastery on Day 2 can not be bettered.

angiebabe Tue Aug 18, 2009 22:45 UTC I visited Petra last year - a dream! and I cried! - but I havent done much with my page yet! Nice to see your efforts here thanks!	BruceDunning Fri Aug 14, 2009 20:51 UTC You certainly have a great display of pictures and comments. Sorry to hear of your thefts and setbacks, but keep the hope up.
PetraofVancouver Tue Jun 5, 2007 07:25 UTC Love your travel documentaries, expecially about the desert city of Petra. I hope to visit my namesake city one day, and other sites in Jordan. Thanks for sharing!	atufft Thu May 10, 2007 07:23 UTC Nice photo documentary of Petra. From these images the Nabatean construction appears quite unique and apart from Roman architecture I've seen, although certainly influenced by it in places.
