Petra is Jordan’s most celebrated archaeological destination, a vast Nabataean city carved into rose-colored sandstone more than two thousand years ago. Visitors enter through the narrow Siq before reaching the Treasury, followed by tombs, temples, pathways and monumental façades spread throughout the ancient city.

Exploring Petra is an active experience, and the nearby town of Wadi Musa provides hotels, spas and hammams where visitors can rest after a day of walking. The combination of archaeology, mountain scenery and modern wellness facilities makes Petra both inspiring and restorative.
