Petra's iconic 45m carved facade + entrance through The Siq + Indiana Jones filming.
Local tip: Enter Petra at sunrise (6:00am opens) for best lighting + cool + no crowds. The Siq walk 1.2km takes 30-45min. Treasury seen first through narrow Siq opening — magical reveal.
Bigger than Treasury (47m) + 800 steps to reach + most photographed Petra angle.
Local tip: 800 steps each way — strenuous hike at altitude. Hire donkey or camel to base of stairs (JD 10) but climb steps yourself for best experience. Monastery dwarfs Treasury — most underrated Petra sight. Bedouin tea cafe at top.
'Valley of the Moon' Mars-like desert 2h south + Lawrence of Arabia + Star Wars filming + Bedouin glamping.
Local tip: Bubble glamping at Sun City Camp ($300/night) or traditional Bedouin tents at $50-100/night. Sunrise camel ride mandatory. Sand boarding + jeep tour included. Best Sep-Nov + Mar-May for cooler temps.
