The Siq – Path Through History

This narrow canyon protected Petra from invaders. Can you imagine camels loaded with frankincense and spices winding through here?

The water channels carved along the Siq were vital. They carried water from the mountains to our city for daily life and ritual ceremonies

The Treasury (Al-Khazneh)

Behold the Treasury! Some say it hid treasures of Pharaohs, others of our kings. The carvings tell stories of power, gods, and prosperity.

We will explain the Nabataean skill in carving sandstone and its role in trade fame

Street of Facades & Tombs

These tombs belong to traders, kings, and craftsmen. Notice the variety — it tells who they were and what they valued.

Our artisans carved tombs while continuing their trade; the city never slept

Theatre & Temples – Public Life & Festivals

Our theatre hosted performances for citizens and visitors. Festivals celebrated trade victories and seasonal changes.

Temples were spaces of worship, diplomacy, and even education

Colonnaded Street & Market Area – Trading & Commerce

- Imagine stalls lining the street, merchants selling frankincense, myrrh, textiles, and pottery. You could barter, share gossip, and hear the latest news from caravan traders.

- Petra’s wealth came from trade across Arabia, Egypt, and the Mediterranean. Every stone here has witnessed that history

Monastery (Ad-Deir) – Spiritual Peak

- The Monastery was a place of worship, meditation, and community. Climbing here mirrors a journey of our ancestors’ dedication.

- We will share Bedouin legends and stories about the site
