  • 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.

     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!

     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.

     Great and impresive page and photophy I've found here! I must also read your Australian page soon as I'm very interested in visiting it. By the way I totally agree that "Love in the Time of Cholera" is the most romantic book ever.Greetings from Poland
