Trek to Petra

Petra is a magical place where you feel like you’re discovering a lost world, even if hundreds of other travelers are visiting on the same day. The ancient city is so vast that you’re often in near solitude, left alone to stare in awe at ruins of theaters and temples that were carved into the cliffside. If you’re someone who wants to see it all, you’ll need to plan routes in advance and leave time to hike from place to place. But the best way to experience Petra is on a few long, meandering journeys, worrying less about seeing each and every highlight and more about taking in the impressive landscape.
