Petra – “Lost City Carved in Rose Gold”

#holidayitinerary

📌 Location: Ma’an Governorate, Jordan

Walking through the Siq—a narrow gorge—and suddenly seeing the Treasury appear is unforgettable. Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage site and for good reason. The rock-cut architecture, especially the Monastery and Royal Tombs, left me speechless. I climbed 800 steps to reach the Monastery, and it was worth every drop of sweat. The whole complex is massive, so wear comfy shoes and hydrate! The best part? At night, Petra by Candlelight creates a magical atmosphere with over a thousand lanterns lighting the path. It’s not just ancient—it's otherworldly.
