Legendary Petra - one of the 7 Wonders of the World

Được phát hành: 05.12.2021

The ancient city of Petra ('The Rock') - this place has been inhabited for thousands of years and was expanded into a city carved into the rock by the Nabataeans, following the Edomites. This place is globally known, especially since Sinbad and Indiana Jones.

There is a main path that runs like a canyon through the city. It is a good idea to enter this city from the back door, the rock temple 'Al Deir'. Then you mostly walk downhill and the sights become more and more interesting.

Getting there is anything but easy. You can be dropped off about 5km away and then walk or take a donkey taxi. The path leads through pink/gray lunar landscapes, through various valleys and even more hills, and is sometimes adventurous. 500m can feel like 5km. But the effort is worth it for impressive pictures.

Arriving at the back door, the 47m high temple carved into the rock, time is forgotten. And then you can look forward to a descent of about 7 km through a canyon, with more than 2 thousand year old monuments and a dusty, bizarre nature.

Then, after walking through a narrow crevice in the rock, the famous Treasury comes into view - which makes this city one of the 7 Wonders of the World. Currently, there are not many people here and the place invites you to linger and have a coffee. From there, it is only about 20 minutes to the main entrance, the modern Petra. I would love to come back again.
