Petra'daki en iyi yerler

Petra's Absolute Essentials

This collection highlights the architectural achievements of the Nabataean Kingdom within the Rose City. It spans the 1.2-kilometer Siq gorge leading to the Al-Khazneh treasury and the 800-step ascent to the massive Ad Deir monastery. The selection includes the Roman-style amphitheater, the Royal Tombs carved into the eastern cliffs, and the Cardo Maximus, showcasing the blend of Hellenistic and local engineering dating from the 4th century BC.
