Tombs, temples and theatres carved out completely in rocks, great views, secluded places, Petra has it all. Certainly the must-see place in Jordan, involving some good walks unless you want to ride a donkey.
Soon after the ancient city of Petra, you reach the other side of the wadi. Here, passing the restaurants and followed by donkey drivers, you can climb up to the Lion Tomb, a little hidden from the main path and not often visited, and further up to the Monastery. Possibly even more impressive than the Treasury, this is a great place to wind down a little, enjoy the views, and marvel at the sheer ingenuity of the architects of the Monastery. The walk back can best be made just before sunset, as the colour of the rocks turn into incredible shades of pink (hence the name Pink City).
