- Siq - The Siq serves as the primary pathway leading to the city, beginning at the Dam and concluding at the Treasury. This rock channel stretches 160 meters in length, varies from 3 to 12 meters in width, and reaches heights of up to 80 meters. The majority of the Siq is formed by natural rock formations, with the remainder skillfully carved by the Nabataeans.
- Al-Khazneh - Known as the Treasury or Al Khazna, this structure stands nearly 40 meters tall and is elaborately adorned with Corinthian capitals, friezes, figures, and more. Atop the Treasury sits a funerary urn, which local legend suggests hides a pharaoh’s treasure. Although its original purpose remains uncertain, the Treasury was likely built in the 1st century BC. In reality, the urn symbolizes a royal memorial. The Treasury features two floors, measuring 25.30 meters in width and 39.1 meters in height.
- Street of Facades - This name refers to the series of grand Nabataean tombs carved into the southern cliff face beyond the Treasury and adjacent to the outer Siq. As one passes the Treasury, the Siq gradually widens into an open area. On either side, numerous Nabataean burial facades are adorned with grindstones and other decorations. Some of these facades have been eroded by natural elements, and it is believed they represent prominent city officials or princes.
- Nabatean Theatre - Carved into the mountainside at the base of the High Place of Sacrifice, the theatre features three tiers of seating separated by passageways. Seven staircases ascend the auditorium, which can accommodate 4,000 spectators. The monument was carved into the mountainside during the reign of King Aretas IV (4 BC-AD 27), and the Romans later reconstructed the stage’s back wall.
- The Urn Tomb - Named for the jar that crowns its pediment, this tomb was likely built around 70 AD. It is fronted by a deep courtyard with colonnades on two sides. High on the facade, there are three niches leading to small burial chambers, which were adapted in 446 AD to serve as a Byzantine church.

Renowned worldwide, the historical city of Petra, once the stronghold of the Nabataean Arabs, stands as one of the most recognized archaeological hotspots. Positioned 240 km south from Jordan’s capital, Amman, and 120 km north of the coastal town Aqaba on the Red Sea, Petra, a world marvel, constitutes Jordan’s most esteemed treasure and primary tourist magnet, attracting visitors globally.
Petra’s exact construction date remains unknown, yet it started flourishing as the seat of the Nabataean Empire since the 1st century BC, amassing wealth through the trafficking of frankincense, myrrh, and spices.
Petra later became a part of the Roman Empire, maintaining its prosperity until a severe earthquake in 363 AD razed a significant part of the city in the 4th century AD. The city eventually fell due to this catastrophe, along with shifts in trade pathways, and was consequently deserted.
