Wonders of the World: Marvel at the Magic of Petra

Petra is an ancient city in Jordan and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. It is known for the magnificent rock-cut architecture and unique water conduit system, Petra is also known as the "Rose City" due to its distinctive pink sandstone cliffs. Definitely a check off my bucket list. Getting there - I took a bus/ coach from Amman to Petra early in the morning. Highlights / Must-Sees - I went to Petra for 2 days straight to see majority of the sites in this ancient city. There are multiple routes and do note that trekking is required for many of the sites higher up the cliffs. 1. Treasury Highlights - This is the first majestic structure you will see upon entering Petra. My breath stopped for a moment when I first walked in. Known for its elaborate Hellenistic architecture carved into rose-red sandstone, the intricate facades and stunning columns reflects the skills and artistry of the Nabataean people. 2. Monastery Highlights - This is quite a hike up but totally worth it. It stands about 50m high and has a grand facade with intricate carvings. From monastery area, you can get breathtaking views of surrounding landscape 3. Royal Tombs Highlights - This is a series of rock-cut burial sites carved into the cliffs. This shows us the architectural skills of the Nabateans. 4. Colonnaded Street Highlights - In this stretch, you can see impressive columns and this place served as the commercial hub in the ancient city. #ancientcities #awesomepic #100waysoftravel #travellerswonderland #petra #jordan
