TOP HIGHLIGHT FROM THE TP TRIP
We spent only 3 days exploring this magical place and managed to see and do a lot in the time we had, however, we could have easily stayed longer!
TREASURY
The Treasury is the most iconic and recognisable structure in Petra, Jordan. Carved into the rock face and one of the most recognisable landmarks of Petra.
It is believed to have been built in the 1st century AD as tomb for a Nabataean King, and its intricate facade and beautiful reliefs make it one of the most visited sites in Petra
Key points

- Approximately 40 meters tall and carved into solid rock.
- Climb higher to get ‘the shot’: Guides are available to take you to the perfect viewing points away from the crowds
