Petra is an ancient archaeological city in southern Jordan, carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs by the Nabataeans over two thousand years ago. It lies within a rugged desert valley surrounded by mountains, accessible through a narrow canyon known as the Siq. Travellers staying in the area find themselves near one of the most celebrated archaeological sites in the Middle East, with the Treasury, the Monastery, and elaborate rock-cut tombs spread across a vast landscape. The town of Wadi Musa sits adjacent to the site and serves as the main gateway for visitors, offering accommodation and services within walking distance of the entrance. The surrounding region features dramatic desert scenery, hiking trails through gorges and ridges, and Bedouin communities that have historically inhabited the area. Petra's location also places travellers within reach of other Jordanian attractions, including the desert wilderness of Wadi Rum to the south and the shores of the Dead Sea to the northwest.
