Petra, A True World Wonder

Petra is located in Wadi Musa, Jordan and you’re able to access the archeological site of Petra from Wadi Musa, access to Wadi Musa is via Coach, Driving or Taxi from what I am aware. Entrances fees into Petra can vary depending on how many days you’re planning to visit however I recommend getting ‘The Jordan Pass’ which allows you access into Petra and in my case being from the UK covered Visa costs as well as access to other sites across the country of Jordan for example in Amman.

The entrance to Petra begins with the huge crevasse that is most known in Western Culture from the Indiana Jones movie, this portion of Petra lasts for 20 to 30 minutes and is magically with every bend being as unique as the previous alongside this the pure size of crevasse really has you in awe. Once you reach the end of the crevasse you’re met with The Treasury, Petra’s most famous landmark and most photographed, the huge building carved into the hillside is truly spectacular and makes you consider what is possible and achievable.

Whilst visiting Petra you’re able to travel via Golf Cart, Horse, Donkey or Camel for various prices however in my instance I opted to just walk. You’re able to travel Petra at your own pace and along the way you have plenty of locations offering affordable food, drinks and souvenirs.
