Acting as an entrance corridor, the 1-mile (1.5 KM) gorge – lined by looming sandstone cliffs leads to the center of the city. Pass its final bend and come face-to-face with Petra’s crowning glory the magnificent Treasury, called locally “El-Khazneh”, the building is famous for its colonnaded Hellenistic façade, carved into the cliff face to dramatic effect. Pose photos in front of the monument, and then continue your tour of the town, learning about the Nabataeans who built the city. Visit Petra Church – a beautiful structure, re-designed by the Byzantines, and then walk around the Royal Tombs, a vast burial site just above the valley floor. Take a look inside and visit the amphitheater and imagine it in its heyday when some 3,000 people sat inside it. After a break for lunch (at your own expense), return to your vehicle and travel further south to Wadi Rum, the vast desert where scenes from Lawrence of Arabia, The Martian, as well as other movies, were filmed.
