Customized Luxury Travel With A Difference: Visit The Old City Of Petra
Petra is an amazing, once in a lifetime must-see site.
The entry price is not too bad, but as you really need three days to even scratch the surface it does tot up. We were lucky, having worked for a month on an archaeological project we were granted free entry. I remember thinking I would definitely be happy to pay it so…
If you get the chance…
- Visit over at least two-three days
- see the sun set from the Monastery (one of the highest spots)
- Walk up to the High Place of Sacrifice - the views are phenomenal
- Get lost in the arid expanse of open landscape exploring tombs and temples without seeing another soul.
- Visit the ‘Petra by Night’ display and experience the magnificent sikhs and Treasury lit up by entirely by candle-light(I have seen other equivalents such as at Luxor and Giza in Egypt and they do not compare)
- Stay at the Cleopetra hotel (Rough Guide)
- Treat yourself to an ice-cream at the Movenpick hotel near the entrance.
