Petra, Jordan's most visited destination, is known as the Rose Red City because of the colour of the kingdom's rock engravings. The western world was unaware of the old Nabatean capital until 1812 when a Swiss explorer uncovered several outstanding ruins in the region.
Watch the sunset:
This is a once-in-a-lifetime Petra adventure that you must not miss. Because Petra is nestled in a valley, to observe the sunset, you must travel to the fringes of Wadi Musa. The greatest places to observe the sunset are along the route (no. 35) from Wadi Musa to Taybeh, which is roughly a 5-10 minute drive from Wadi Musa's center. There's a little municipal park with a fantastic view of Petra — the city is literally at your feet.
The beautiful night at Petra :
Visit the Petra Night Show to round out your Petra experience. This event is a spectacular chance to observe the rock city by candlelight and tour the ancient city. This one-of-a-kind experience begins with a journey through the whole Siq to the Treasury, which is illuminated by over 1,500 candles, producing a breathtaking spectacle for all tourists who participate.
