It&#8217;s known as the<strong>\u2018Pink City\u2019<\/strong> for the colour of its buildings, <strong>temples, tombs and ruins<\/strong> that transport you to another era. In the city, you can walk along winding paths that will take you through narrow gorges to discover the grandeur of its buildings. And all this in a unique setting in the <strong>Desert of Wadi Rum<\/strong>. There is so much to see in Petra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Petra today is a tourist resort where no one lives, so <strong>tourists stay in Wadi Musa<\/strong>, the nearest town. In this post, as well as telling you <strong>what to see in Petra<\/strong>, we give you <strong>a number of travel tips<\/strong> that will make your stay more enjoyable. We also tell you the best way to get to Petra and the best places to eat.

Roman Amphitheatre of Petra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another must-see in Petra is its Roman amphitheatre, an impressive historic structure built in the 1st century AD, when it was used as a <strong>place of entertainment and spectacle<\/strong>. It is carved into the rock and has a capacity for 7,000 spectators. Over time, it has become quite eroded and deteriorated, but you can still make out the seats and aisles that led to the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Al-Khazna-or-the-Treasury-a-must-see-in-Petra\"><\/span>3. Al Khazna or the Treasury, a must-see in Petra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Treasury of Petra is one of the world&#8217;s most iconic and recognisable archaeological treasures. This impressive building carved into the pink sandstone rock is located in the heart of the city and its fa\u00e7ade is approximately 40 metres high. The value of the building lies solely in the fa\u00e7ade as there is nothing inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to enjoy the view to the full, <strong>we recommend going up to the viewpoint<\/strong> just in front of it. It takes about 5 minutes to get there along a path just below. If you don&#8217;t want to wait in long queues, it&#8217;s best to go up as early as possible. Also be warned that there is no handrail, so be careful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-attachment-id=\"31100\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/jordan\/things-to-do-in-petra\/attachment\/a-must-see-in-petra\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-must-see-in-Petra.jpeg?fit=1024%2C769&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,769\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"a-must-see-in-Petra\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-must-see-in-Petra.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-must-see-in-Petra.jpeg?fit=1024%2C769&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-must-see-in-Petra.jpeg?resize=1024%2C769&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"a must-see in Petra\" class=\"wp-image-31100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-must-see-in-Petra.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-must-see-in-Petra.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/a-must-see-in-Petra.jpeg?resize=768%2C577&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Treasure of Petra @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-The-Royal-Tombs\"><\/span>4.

They feature <strong>elaborate architecture and ornate detailing, such as columns, friezes and hand-carved reliefs<\/strong>, and are named for their size and majestic design, suggesting that they were built to house people of high rank and status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-The-Great-Temple\"><\/span>5.
