Petra Archaeological Park and Monastery Hike

Arrive at the Petra Visitors Center and meet your guide.
Walk from the Petra Archaeological Park main gate to the entrance of the Siq, a dramatic rock canal that leads into the city, starting from the Dam and ending at the Treasury. Along the way, pass the Obelisk Tomb and Bab As-Siq Triclinium, a burial complex unique for its Nabataean architecture.
Continue to the Treasury, also known as Al Khazanah, one of the most elaborate temples in the ancient city of Petra, carved directly into a sandstone rock face.
Visit the Roman Theatre, a first-century AD Nabataean theatre situated in the center of Petra, much of which was carved out of solid rock. Then see the Royal Tombs, a large burial chamber consisting of a dozen tombs of the Nabataean kings, as well as the Royal Court.
Stop at the Petra Basin restaurant for lunch.
Hike to the Monastery, hidden high in the hills and one of the legendary monuments of Petra. It has architecture similar to the Treasury but is much larger in size.
