Petra is an ancient city in Jordan, known for its impressive architecture and fascinating history.

It was built by the Nabataeans around the 6th century BC and became an important trading centre in antiquity.

What makes Petra especially remarkable is its rock-cut architecture.

Buildings and temples are carved directly into the sandstone cliffs, creating a spectacular sight.

Petra's most famous building is the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), an impressive structure with an elaborate and detailed façade, and the Monastery (Ad Deir).

As you explore Petra, you'll come across tombs, theatres and temples, each with its own charm and mystery.

In addition, the Siq, a narrow gorge leading into the city, offers a unique experience as you walk among the towering rock walls.

Today, Petra is a major tourist site and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It attracts visitors from all over the world who want to marvel at its architectural beauty and immerse themselves in its history.
