What an incredible country, I arrived here 10 days ago and have truly been overwhelmed by my experiences here. From the wonderful hospitality to the phenomenal landscapes, I would go as far as to say its been my favourite country I’ve ever travelled to. I cannot remember one bad encounter I had with the locals and i will remember for the rest of my life the selfless and kind hearted nature of the Jordanian locals.
@worldnomac, @sofiastamatiadis and I explored all the main regions including Amman, Jerash, Dea sea, Petra, Wadi rum and Aqaba.
Inshallah I will be back again to explore the rest of the country but now It’s time for mac & I to travel to our next country which is going to be an absolute full send. Some amazing drone shots by @worldnomac

You Don't Need a Tour Guide at Petra Jordan (Secret Access Points)

Where is Petra? Well, it's in Jordan. We took our own tour inside Petra, Jordan to figure out the history, how was it built, and of course see the treasury, the great temple, and the monastery.

But what's best, is that we paid attention to the tour guides around us and discovered secret access points for amazing photo opportunities, so we decided we should share them with you in this vlog of Petra, Jordan in 4K, in our best attempt at documentary style.

Hope you guys enjoy and tag along for the rest of our adventures!

Even if you’ve seen it a hundred times on Instagram, standing before the façade of Petra’s Treasury blows the mind. Nothing can prepare you for the sheer scale of the building as you emerge from a 20-minute walk through the red rock canyon known as the Siq. But Petra –capital of the Nabatean empire over 2,000 years ago – is so much more than the Treasury and Monastery, being home to several royal tombs, temples and even Roman ruins. The best way to make the most of your visit is to go with a local leader who can help you navigate the enormous sprawling site and fill you in on the fascinating history of the Nabateans.

At Intrepid, we offer more than just small group trips.

Everyone has seen the astonishing Treasury that was hand carved into the side of a mountain but this ancient city is way more than that. Petra is the size of 50,000 football fields and has more than 1,000 tombs, endless slot canyons, and intricate carvings that will blow your mind. Petra has to be in the top 3 world wonders and once you step foot in this jaw dropping city, you can only imagine how 30,000 Nabateans lived here in a place considered to be paradise. One of the most astonishing discoveries about Petra is the water system because Jordan is one of the most water scarce countries in the world.

HARASSED in Petra (The side of Petra they don’t show you) البتراء الاردن ????????

My first day in Petra was an eye-opener, and whilst Jordan is full of kind and friendly people, there are a lot of scammers and salesmen that prey on tourists at this world wonder.

I was harassed in Petra as soon as I went through the first turnstile, and in this video is a side of Petra that they don’t show you.

Watch as I head from the entrance to the Petra archaeological site to the iconic Treasury building, and meet some interesting characters along the way.

BEST OF PETRA | Treasury, Back Door trail, Monastery and more

Location: Petra, Jordan
Recorded: March 30, 2023 - April 2, 2023
Vlog 128

Hi guys! Welcome to Petra, Jordan, one of the 7 Wonders of the World. We traveled from Wadi Rum to Wadi Musa. Our Airbnb was $30/night and was a 2-minute drive from the Petra Visitor Center. We spent two full days exploring Petra. You could spend 3 full days exploring Petra with the Jordan Pass.

On our first day, we stuck to the normal easy trail that leads you through the Siq Canyon to the Treasury. On our second day, we parked our car in the visitor's center and hired a taxi to take us to Little Petra. We then took a 20-minute jeep ride to the Monastery trail. We enjoyed hiking the back trail more than the main trail. The Monastery is just as epic as the Treasury and is a must see in Petra.

We hope you enjoy the vlog, and we are excited to show you more of Jordan over the next few days!

Petra - Exploring the Amazing Rock City of Jordan

Petra, also known as the Lost City or the Red Rock City, is an ancient Nabatean holy city, carved into the rocks in southern Jordan. It’s an amazing place to see in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Check out my Amman travel guide:

On Day 6 of our trip to Jordan, we woke up in the morning, had breakfast at our hotel, and continued on to the gates of Petra. The entrance ticket price of visiting Petra is 50 JD ($70.23), which is on the pricey side, but well worth it to visit this incredible city. Before going into the gates, I stopped on the outside and purchased a keffiyeh (4 JD ($5.62), the traditional Middle Eastern checkered cloth headdress. After that, I was ready to go and explore Petra!

When you see pictures of Petra, at least in my case, you can’t really tell how big it is, or the scale of it - it’s not just one building on tomb, but it’s an entire city, spread out through the red rocks of Petra, through canyons and valley and rock mountains. So it’s a huge site that can take a full day, or even many days (if you had the time) to explore. So rather than just going to see a single attractions, Petra is like walking into a historical amusement city, full of surprises, mountains to climb, and ancient tombs to explore. Just for a bit of history, Petra was built by the ancient Nabateans, likely somewhere around the 300 BC date range. The Nabateans were a nomadic Arabian tribe who were specialist in trade, especially across the Arabian desert. They would run camel caravans and trade to lands across the desert, and due to their incredible desert and sky skills, they could navigate the desert and not only survive, but thrive. They made a fortune trading frankincense and myrrh, and doing so, they made a fortune. Similar to the ancient Egyptians, when the Nabateans became very wealthy, they started to think more about their after-life, and so they decided to build tombs within the rocks of Petra. At first I was thinking that the sites of Petra were temples or houses, but the majority, especially the fancy ornate rock carving at Petra are all tombs. The city of Petra eventually became deserted, and it was hidden for about a thousand years, before being rediscovered by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812.

After entering the Rock City, you first walk through a slot canyon, which was the main roadway leading directly into the center of Petra. You can either walk, or they also have horse chariots if you want to ride. One of the most famous tombs at Petra is known as the The Treasury (Al Khazneh), which was named so because some people believed there was treasure hidden high in the rock above it. The Treasury, also a tomb, is one of the best preserved and most incredible things to see when you visit Petra. The tombs are carved directly out of the side of the red rock mountains, and what’s really interesting is that the Nabateans were influenced by many different civilizations, as one can tell from the construction. The Treasury has lots of Greek influence, along with Arab and local Middle Eastern details as well. We continued hiking, and visiting many more of the tombs around Petra. Another famous place to see in the city is The Monastery (Ad Deir), which requires a hike that took about 45 minutes. The Monastery looks remarkably similar to the Treasury, but it’s just three times the size. There are some incredible views, and from The Monastery, you can do some more small hikes to get some wonderful views of the rugged mountain rocks.

For dinner we headed to a restaurant in town called Al Qantarah - a nice restaurant housed in a rock building. Along with some fantastic fresh fish, that the owner of the restaurant had caught himself, we also had a main dish of lamb and rice cooked in a claypot. The lamb was amazingly tender and the rice was fragrant. Dinner was the best way to end an incredible day tour exploring the fascinating city of Petra.
