Top Things To Do In Petra Apart From Exploring The Treasury

When you say Petra, so many people tend to think of the facade of the Treasury built into the orange canyon walls, since it is what they see quite regularly on social media. There’s actually so much to be explored during your Amman to Petra Day Tour than just the Treasury. Here in this guide we are going to explain the top things to do in Petra apart from exploring the Treasury.

As-Siq:

As-Siq is a 1300-yard long valley that serves at the beautiful main entry into Petra. “Siq” for short, the valley is overlapped by the relics of a massive arch that malformed during an earthquake in 1896. But the most beautiful aspect of the stroll into Petra is the natural splendor of the multicolor sandstone rocks & the novelty of the folks of Petra.

The valley is packed with multi-colored rocks & puzzling geological constructions. As you amble through, soared cliffs that look to crop the sky surround you. The rocks themselves have been carved to make terraces for farming & conduits for water.

Obelisk Tomb:

On the road into Petra, tourists can see tombs engraved into the adjacent rock, the most popular of which is the Obelisk Tomb – which displays a wonderful mixture of Egyptian & Greco-Roman architecture. The obelisk itself is Egyptian in origin, whereas the sites between it are Greco-Roman. The upper floor features the real tomb while the lower floor was used as dinning corridor for funeral rituals.

Palace Tomb:

With its multiple levels & elegantly adorned pillars and columns, the Palace Tomb greatly resembles a palace. Regardless of being badly battered, it’s still a great sight to savor.

Urn Tomb:

It’s by far the largest of the regal entombments, and was afterward to be reconsecrated as a Byzantine cathedral. There’re 3 compartments above its entrance. The central compartment is obstructed by a stone that represents the man masked inside, which will send shivers running down your spine.

High Place of Sacrifice:

The mere way to access this region is to opt for a long hike. But at the summit, you’ll be rewarded with an exceptional sight of Petra in an especially well-maintained region. This site was most probably employed for spiritual ceremonies to pay tribute to the gods & for conducting funeral rituals for the demised.
