If you find traveling has become mundane, try visiting Jordan!!

I recommend a road trip in Jordan. It was a fresh and moving experience. The scenery is spectacular everywhere, and the people are friendly, often greeting with 'Hello'. I've grown fond of Jordan. I would love to go again if I have the chance. Life's sunset at the Dead Sea is a bonus. Monastery in Petra Al-Khazneh in Petra Wadi Rum

2023: a year to remember! What’s netx? 🔜✈️

2023 was a beautiful year! I had the opportunity to visit many new places. In January I went to Jordan. While I was there, I had the opportunity to visit Petra, one of the seven wonders of the modern world. January being a non-high season period, there were few people and it was beautiful. Petra is definitely a magical place to see at least once in a lifetime. In April instead I had the opportunity to go to Beijing. Here too I saw another wonder of the modern world, The Great Wall of China. But the thing that left me most shocked was the Terracotta army which is located in the city of Xi'An. I hope to have other opportunities to travel in 2024 as I had in 2023. The destinations I would like to visit this year are New Zealand and French Polynesia…so Oceania is my next goal 🔜✈️ #2024wish #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #Jordan #Petra #sevenwondersoftheworld #Beijing #xian #newzeland #frenchpolynesia

Petra, A True World Wonder

Petra is located in Wadi Musa, Jordan and you’re able to access the archeological site of Petra from Wadi Musa, access to Wadi Musa is via Coach, Driving or Taxi from what I am aware. Entrances fees into Petra can vary depending on how many days you’re planning to visit however I recommend getting ‘The Jordan Pass’ which allows you access into Petra and in my case being from the UK covered Visa costs as well as access to other sites across the country of Jordan for example in Amman. The entrance to Petra begins with the huge crevasse that is most known in Western Culture from the Indiana Jones movie, this portion of Petra lasts for 20 to 30 minutes and is magically with every bend being as unique as the previous alongside this the pure size of crevasse really has you in awe. Once you reach the end of the crevasse you’re met with The Treasury, Petra’s most famous landmark and most photographed, the huge building carved into the hillside is truly spectacular and makes you consider what is possible and achievable. Whilst visiting Petra you’re able to travel via Golf Cart, Horse, Donkey or Camel for various prices however in my instance I opted to just walk. You’re able to travel Petra at your own pace and along the way you have plenty of locations offering affordable food, drinks and souvenirs. #jordan #petra #TheTreasury #middleeast #Wadi-Musa #timetotravel

The Monastery, Petra’s Hiking Beauty Spot

When visiting Petra The Monastery is located at the opposite end of the archaeological site from the entrance and main attraction, to get to the monastery you must walk for around an hour with 30/40 of those minutes being uphill, along the way there is opportunities to stop and upon getting to the top you’re treated to an affordable shop considering the location, seating locations and an option to continue to see a view of the mountain range that is the backdrop to Petra. One thing you won’t miss when getting to the monastery is the huge sign saying “Best View in Petra” hung across a mountain face that takes you to an view that holds up to the signs claim, at the top their is another shop that closes around sundown. Definitely worth the extra effort and hike to go and see. In the rest of the photos you can see some of the lesser known gems within the site of Petra which showcases the need to spend at-least a day exploring the entire site, you are able to select various routes and go at your own pace within Petra or there are plenty of guides available. #petra #jordan

I bough a pass, thinking it is enough to see all places easily. but no! it is not enough. there are so many thing to see and explore. i suggest to buy at least 2 days pass and stay overnight in city so you can wander around without rushing.

Ancient city carved into the red rocks

Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled amidst the rugged desert canyons of southern Jordan, is a breathtaking ancient city carved into rose-colored sandstone cliffs. Its most iconic structure, the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), captivates visitors with its intricate facades and mysterious aura. As you navigate through narrow Siq, a winding canyon path, the grandeur of Petra gradually unfolds, revealing tombs, temples, and amphitheaters intricately carved into the rock formations. The juxtaposition of nature and human ingenuity in Petra creates an unforgettable experience, drawing travelers to explore its archaeological wonders and immerse themselves in the rich history of the Nabatean civilization.#Jordan #travel #trip #Petra

Petra: A Jewel in the Kingdom of Jordan

Petra is an amazing cultural site, with ancient ruins, palaces, and temples. The walk in through winding canyons is a magical experience by itself! I enjoyed the years of history and the education information available. The sunrise feels like a dream among these buildings of the ancient world. Some of the hikes can be intense, so wear good shoes and take a water bottle. I also recommend going very early in the morning, as soon as the site is open to visitors, because too many people will arrive even by mid-morning.#jordan #petra #desert #约旦 #废墟 #寺庙 #沙漠 #hiking #爬山

Feel lost in ancient Petra

Petra, an ancient city in Jordan, is one of the 7 wonders of the world! Visit #petra As for the itinerary, make sure you spend at least 2 days there! You have to decide before you enter the country as you will need to get the Jordan Pass in advance for the visa, but I would suggest 2 days. For the first day, you can take the Main Trail and all the way you will see the Treasury and Al Siq. Then extend it all the way to the monastery! For the second day you can visit the treasury viewpoint. The trail is fairly challenging, then descend to go to High Place of Sacrifice Trail.

A RARELY TRAVELED COUNTRY WELL WORTH !!

Quite the experience in the far North Western corner of Saudi Arabia near the city of Al Ula is the old Nabataean city of Hegra, the twin city of Petra in Jordan. The scenery is stunning and visitors are rare. With the new electronic visa system in place in Saudi Arabia these trips are becoming easier either as a destination alone or as a stopover on Saudia Airlines.#tripblazers #saudiarabia #petra #hegra #saudia

The rock-cut façades are the iconic monuments of Petra. Of these, the most famous is the so-called Treasury (or Khazneh), which appeared in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as the final resting place of the Holy Grail. #petra #7wondersoftheworld #takemeback

VerifiedLooking for an ancient treasure? 🤠🇯🇴 Welcome to The Rose City of #petra . Surrounded by stunning caves, magnificent tombs, and sacred temples…This iconic historical place lies half-hidden in the wind-blown landscape in southern Jordan 🙌 . ➡️ Don't miss out to witness the Siq and Treasury are lit by candles for the Petra by night tour, It's magical!

I don't think there is a single person who can't recognise this place. The mythical city of Petra is probably the most famous place all over the Middle East and not to mention how important is for Jordan. If you want to visit it just be prepare for 20km walking by feet to the end. If you are more lazy like me - 3km walk also works. #petra #jordan #happynewyear #happynewyear
