Walk through the spectacular Siq Canyon, the natural gateway to Petra, while discovering ancient water channels, rock carvings, and stories of the Nabataeans. Continue to the iconic Treasury (Al-Khazneh), where your guide will explain its architecture, history, and the mysteries behind this world-famous monument.

Transport details
Type: Walking

Petra does not allow regular transportation inside the archaeological site. The only available option is the official electric carts, which I do not usually recommend for this experience because Petra is best enjoyed on foot, allowing you to appreciate the details, scenery, history, and hidden stories along the way without rushing through the site. I recommend walking at a comfortable pace to fully experience the Siq, Treasury, ancient city, and main highlights. However, if you prefer, you may choose to use the electric cart on the way back to the entrance after completing the tour.
