Peek At Petra

Ticked off in January 2010

Peek At Petra

What it is

Petra is the ancient Nabataean city carved into rose-coloured cliffs, entered through the narrow Siq gorge.

How to do it

Stay in Wadi Musa and buy the Jordan Pass, which includes entry. Allow two days to reach the Monastery and the High Place of Sacrifice.

Top tip

Petra by Night runs a few evenings a week, with the Treasury lit by candles.

My experience

Ticked off, but the full story is still to be written up.
