🕌 What Is Petra And Why Visit It?
When it comes to being called the "Lost City", Petra is among one of the world’s lost treasures worthy of description. Found tucked away in the rose-red mountains of Jordan, the ancient city was never constructed but rather carved out of solid rock by the Nabataeans nearly 2,000 years ago. It endured as one of the famous stops on the Silk Road, a place where traders from Asia, Africa, and Europe would congregate. UNESCO has honored Petra with the World Heritage Site title, and it is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The Treasury, better known locally as Al-Khazneh, is the most important sight here: it is an enormous temple carved into a lofty sandstone cliff. But, there are tombs, temples, an ancient theater, and elevated spots that offer excellent views.

The Royal Tombs are a must-see that highlight the grandeur of Nabataean architecture; the Theater, which is carved into the mountain and seats over 4,000 people, is also well worth a visit. For anyone up for a bit of exercise, don't miss climbing the 800 steps to the Monastery (Ad-Deir)—another well-hidden treasure, even grander than the Treasury, and offering spectacular views.

From ghost stories to grandeur, Petra stays in memory forever.
📅 The Best Time to Book Your Petra Tour from Egypt
The cooler months from October to April would be the best for sightseeing at Petra when the weather is pleasantly mild outside for ambling about an ancient city. This time is marvellously suited for hiking amidst its vast outdoor sites, up to the Monastery or golden sunlit views from the Royal Tombs. Summer, however, goes blazing hot, particularly post-midday; but if one dares the weather with a good hat atop and sufficient water supply, Petra can be enjoyed any time. Egypt United Tours is there for you throughout the year and thus helps you in deciding on an apt departure time best suited for your travel timing and season preference.
Weekdays are usually less crowded than weekends, so it is basically ideal for having the site with fewer crowds. A very special occasion to put in your calendar goes to be Petra by Night, with the Treasury shining through a thousand candlelightings from magic. We recommend you book this tour way in advance, about 2 to 4 weeks, mainly during the peak season—March breakers as well as spring. This will give us ample time to finalize your transportation, visas, and accommodations plan without breaking a sweat. On our side, if you find yourself turning over a side-trip to Jordan in Egypt, then it's time to get it started with planning.
