In 2007 Petra was chosen as one of the new seven wonders of the world.
However, Petra is not only a facade with columns. The houses of the ancient city are carved into the rock at different levels and connected by streets and terraces. The walls of some canyons are decorated with huge tombs and small crematoria. In the lowlands and on the hills, you can see the monastery of Al-Deir, a ruined amphitheater and the ruins of ancient columns. To look at Petra from above, you need to climb to the observation deck - however, this is not so easy. There are more than 800 sightseeing objects on the territory of Petra, and therefore you can purchase one, two and three - day tickets to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere ancient city.
