Israel & the Palestinian Territories Lonely Planet - Petra
Built partly in honour of the dead, the Petra necropolis retains much of its sense of hidden mystery thanks to its inaccessible location in the heart of a windblown landscape. Reached via the Siq, the path suddenly reaches sunlight in front of the Treasury – a spectacle that cannot fail to impress. Add to this the cheerfulness of the Bedouin people, and it’s easy to see what makes Pet-ra a must-visit in Jordan.
Coverage includes: The Ancient City, Wadi Musa, Petra Walking Tour, and Siq al-Barid (Little Petra).
