[2025 Petra Attraction] Travel Guide for The Treasury (Updated Jun)

Petra in Jordan is considered the most expensive tourist destination in the world, with an entrance fee of 50 dinars, or about 100,000 won. However, you can see a magnificent sight that is well worth the price. If you go down the red canyon, you will suddenly see the Al Khazneh ruins that appear unrealistically. It is an ancient ruin well known as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It is a temple that was carved and carved directly from the cliff. In order to take a picture of Al Khazneh while sitting on the cliff as in images 1 and 3, you have to climb the cliffs on the left and right of Al Khazneh. It is easy enough to climb on your own, but be careful because there are smoky-makeup touts who look like Jack Sparrow demanding a guide fee of more than 10,000 won, saying that you have to go up through them. You can just go up and take a picture with your friends at the image 1 spot, or if you go up a little further and pay 1jd (about 2,000 won), there are people who will give you a cup of tea and take a video and picture (image 5) on the red carpet. This is cheap, so it is worth a try. Many people only know the appearance of Al Khazneh, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. If you follow the canyon road that continues to the right of Al Khazneh, you will see the ancient city and necropolis where the Nabataeans lived 2,000 years ago. The library, laundry, and tombs they used... It is really amazing to feel the traces of people living there. It is so big that it can be called a city👍🏻 The donkeys and carriages for tourists that travel between them are also elements that make the appearance of this historic site unique.🫏 It is quite expensive, but since you have to walk a long way to see the highlights of the historic site, it is a good idea to bargain and use it when you are short on time or your feet hurt. 📍Petra, Wadimusa, Jordan 📍Entrance fee 50JD #Petra #Jordan #NabataeanRelics #MarchTravelSupportEvent

The Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. We had two choices: walk two kilometers to the city center, or take a horse carriage to get there. I chose to walk and it was a good decision. We passed through many meandering paths, seeing sandstones that morphed in different shades of sienna and different shapes of curves on our way. The tour guide gracefully showed us the way on foot. He explained that, in order to stop the water of the valley flooding the siq leading to the Al Khazmeh, the ancient people built canals and water pipes to direct the water. We saw bas reliefs along the siq, with the image of a man leading a fleet of camels stone-carved onto the sandstones. The natural contours of these red and yellow sandstones were a wonder itself. I became used to the light human hand prints on the way, and thus I was blown away when we reached the Al Khazmeh. There standing proudly and prominently, the city center had high pillars supporting a beautiful Romanesque façade, hewn and chiseled into the massive sandstone structure. It was the treasury of the city. In the middle an opening led into some kind of depth that was kept out of bounds to us. I was simply unprepared for this view and very much awed. #jordan #petra #ruins #sevenwondersoftheworld #ancientarchitecture #ancientcity #trip

Petra by Night is a magical event that takes place in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. The event is a candlelit tour of the area that allows visitors to experience Petra in a unique and enchanting way. The tour begins at the Petra Visitor Centre and takes visitors through the Siq, a narrow gorge that leads to the Treasury. The Siq is lit with over 1500 candles, creating a magical atmosphere that transports visitors back in time. The Treasury is the highlight of the tour and is illuminated by hundreds of candles. There are projections and a live show including Bedouin music. Petra by Night is held every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each week and runs from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased at the Visitor Centre shops, local tour agencies in Petra, or at some hotel receptions. #christmastrip

Attraction: Al-Khazneh (The treasury) Location: Petra, Jordan Direction: Take local bus from Amman or join tour Opening hours: 6am - 6pm (closes at 4pm in winters) Al-Khazneh , also known as treasury of the pharaoh is one of the most elaborate and fascinating temples in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom inhabited by the Arabs in ancient times. This structure was actually carved out of a single sandstone rock Instead of being built and it is actually 39.1 meters tall! My tip is to arrive early so that you can take pictures without the crowd. #timetotravel #jordan #petra #monastery

#summerbreak Visit the AMAZING 🤩 Treasury 💎 in Jordan this SUMMER BREAK! Seeing the Treasury in Petra is mind-blowing as it is one of the architectural wonders in ALL of MIDDLE EAST! It's like stepping into an Indiana Jones movie. As you walk through the narrow Siq, the anticipation builds, and then, bam! There it is, in all its grandeur, carved into the rock face. The intricate details and the sheer size of the Treasury are awe-inspiring. The rose-colored façade glows in the sunlight, creating a mesmerizing sight. You can't help but wonder about the stories and secrets this ancient structure holds. It's a moment that takes your breath away and makes you appreciate the incredible craftsmanship and history of the Treasury.

If you are into the outdoors, Wadi Rum and Wadi Mujib are a must! I advise you to go to Wadi Mujib when it's warm outside even though the water itself in the wadi is not super cold as you will get wet. It's not for the faint of heart or couch potatoes, but this short hike was one of the highlights of my trip. You can go to one of the shore side hotels; I stayed at the Porto myself. You can also park alongside the highway near the south coast beyond the hotel strip and hike down to the Dead Sea to enjoy it alone but there is no mud to be had down there. Petra speaks for itself. Amman has a couple of points of interest. but there is no need to give the city more than

📍Location: Al-Khazneh (Treasury), Petra, Jordan 🇯🇴 💞Reasons to Recommend: - Stunning ancient architecture - Unique historical significance - Breathtaking desert landsca 🕰️Business Hours: Typically open daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM (may vary by season) 💰Average Price per Person: Around $70 USD for a one-day ticket (discounts for multi-day passes) 👩🏫 Quick history lesson: Petra, known as the “Rose City,” was built by the Nabataeans around the 4th century BC in what is now Jordan. It became a wealthy trading hub thanks to its location on major caravan routes. The city is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water management system. It flourished for centuries but declined after Roman rule and earthquakes, eventually being forgotten until it was rediscovered by a Swiss explorer in 1812. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. #historicallandmarks #jordan #petra #Treasury #camels

🇯🇴-1.1 Finally, we arrived at the highlight of #Petra in #Jordan. This was the place I was most looking forward to on the entire #trip (because after visiting the neighboring countries, I liked them all). Ever since I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade released in 1989, my childhood dream has been to become an archaeologist (of course, I didn’t become one later 🤷🏽♂️), but the magnificent scenery has always been deeply imprinted in my heart. Little Kerry hoped that one day he would be able to see this historic site, which was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1985, with his own eyes. Finally, 34 years later, I fulfilled a distant wish. For me, Petra is divided into Petra with Al-Khazneh and Petra without Al-Khazneh. The reason is that most people only walk to the temple and then turn back, but in fact, the monastery (Ad-deir / Monastery) at the very end is actually much larger and more stunning. Khazneh is also known as the "Treasure" ( #Treasury ). Legend has it that the urn atop the building contains heirloom jewels, and still bears the marks of bullets fired by Nabataeans’ guns. Looking at those bullet marks not only reminded me of the plot of the Indiana Jones movie, but also immersed me in the memories of my youth. Passing through the winding #SnakePath (Al-Siq), which seems to be a road carved out of the towering rock wall, it coils like a snake on the way to the Khazneh Temple. Looking at the strange rocks on both sides, my heart is filled with admiration for the Bedouins. As we walked along the road, a ray of light shone on the ground in the distance ahead, and the magnificent building that came into view was the "Temple of Khazneh" that I had been dreaming of. That's exactly where they chose the Holy Grail in "Independence Day"🤩! The 39.5-meter-high Khazneh was built during the Nabataeans period between 60 BC and 50 AD. It is carved into the cliff, and many of the architectural details have been eroded over the past two thousand years. These sculptures are believed to be figures from various myths related to the afterlife. Walking along the ancient Bedouin roads under the scorching sun, I felt as if I had traveled back to Greece two thousand years ago, exploring this ancient rose city along the land trade route. The rest of Petra is... to be continued!

Visiting Petra in April was one of the most memorable experiences of my travels. The early spring sun, cool breeze, and quiet atmosphere made the day feel almost sacred. I arrived early to walk through the Siq, the narrow gorge that leads to Petra, and watched how the morning light danced on the rose-colored stone walls. It felt like entering another world. #travelinspiration #naturalwonders As I reached the Treasury, I stood still for a moment — it's one of those rare places that truly takes your breath away. The colors in April were soft and golden, with little bursts of wildflowers growing along the paths, adding a touch of life to the ancient landscape. I spent the whole day slowly exploring the site — climbing up to the Royal Tombs, hiking to the Monastery, and just soaking in the peaceful energy of the place. The cooler spring weather made the long walks and climbs enjoyable, and the views from the top were unforgettable. What I loved most was the balance between nature and history. In April, Petra isn’t just a set of ruins — it’s a living, breathing place filled with birdsong, blossoms, and silence. 🛏️ Travel tip: After a full day exploring, I stayed the night in a small guesthouse in the village of Wadi Musa, just outside the site. It was the perfect way to rest, enjoy some local food, and reflect on the experience without rushing. ✍🏼 Tips for Visiting Petra in Spring: - Arrive early:The gates open around 6 AM. You’ll avoid crowds and catch the soft golden light through the Siq and on the Treasury. - Wear good shoes: There’s a lot of walking and some uneven paths. Hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers make a big difference. - Bring layers: Mornings are fresh, but it gets warm by midday. A light jacket or sweater is ideal. - Don’t skip the hike to the Monastery – It takes around 45 minutes with many steps, but the view (and the Monastery itself) is absolutely worth it. - Pack water and snacks: There are some shops and tea stands, but it's best to bring your own for the hike. - Stay overnight nearby: Wadi Musa has cozy guesthouses and small hotels. It’s relaxing to spend the night and not rush your visit. - Buy the Jordan Pass: It includes your Petra ticket and saves you money on the visa and other attractions. #aprilblooms #petrajordan #springholiday #unescoworldheritage #travelguide #ancientlandmark

Petra—one of the New Seven Wonders of the World—was more than a bucket-list destination. It was a living dream carved into rose-red stone, and sharing the experience with my family made it all the more magical. #familytrip From the moment we walked through the Siq, that narrow gorge with walls towering on either side, there was a sense of mystery in the air. And then—there it was. The Treasury. Peeking out from the end of the canyon like a scene from a movie. No photo, no video, no story ever does it justice. Standing there with my loved ones, we were all speechless. In that moment, we were time travelers. Every step beyond that was a discovery. The Royal Tombs, the Street of Facades, the climb up to the Monastery—it felt like we were exploring the secrets of an ancient world together. ✍🏼 Tips for future travelers: - Go early: Petra is huge! Arriving early not only helps beat the crowds, but also the heat. - Wear comfy shoes: You’ll walk a lot, and some paths are rocky or steep—especially the climb to the Monastery. - Bring water and snacks: There are vendors inside, but having your own supply helps, especially if you're traveling with kids. - Don’t rush: Take your time. Petra isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about feeling the stories etched into every stone. Pro-Tip: Try Petra by Night. If you can, go back in the evening for a magical candle-lit experience in front of the Treasury. Petra wasn’t just a destination—it was a shared memory, a bonding experience, and a gentle reminder of how small we are in the grand stories of the world. #aprilblooms #historicallandmarks #petrajordan #travelinspiration #worldwonder #traveldiaries

Bucket list item checked off! and it did not disappoint. Petra is so much more than just the "Treasury". It has more than 20 kilometers of rock cut tombs and structures one more impressive than the other. As a disabled and plump girl the the main trail is easy enough since it's all downhill. Yet if you wish to enjoy the tombs higher up in the hills there are some that do require some endurance and taking things slowly since there a lot of uneven steps. That being said, I was able to enjoy about 85% of Petra even with my disability.

Standing over 40m high and beautifully carved into the cliff side, the treasury at Petra is the sites most iconic monument and what led to the area being recognised as one of the 7 new wonders of the world. As you reach the end of the narrow Siq you breath will be taken away by the amazing site. Make sure to take your time admiring the building in all its finery to truly understand the painstaking, intricate details that went into building it. #aprilblooms #petra #7wondersoftheworld

The walk from the visitor centre to Petra’s most iconic monument, the treasury is an adventure all by itself. As you walk through this 1.2 km long cavern known as the Siq you can witness the towering rock formations above you as the narrow passageway winds downhill. The rocks themselves almost look different colours throughout the day, dependent on how the light shines on them. At the end of the Siq you will gain your first glimpse of the spectacular 40m high treasury that made this place so famous. #aprilblooms #petra #rocks

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Petra in Jordan is a world-famous tourist resort city, with thousands of tourists coming here for sightseeing and vacation every day. There are many ancient architectural attractions in Petra. This time I would like to recommend a very famous ancient architectural attraction in the local area: Khazneh Temple. As a landmark building in Petra, it is located at the end of Siq Canyon. It is still very shocking to peek at the temple through the cracks in the Sik Canyon. If you come to see Petra at night, it is in front of the Khazneh Temple. The temple itself is a negative sculpture, that is, recessed into the mountain. There are various legends about the purpose of this temple. There will be many Bedouins pulling camels at the door to take photos with you and ask you for money. It is very commercial. You can also climb up the mountain from the path on the left side of the temple to take aerial photos of the temple.

I came to El Hazne in Petra, Jordan. After passing through the Siq valley, a large ruin appears in front of you. This experience is mysterious and very nice. It is famous as the setting for Indiana Jones, and you will feel like you are in the movie. This is a place that you should definitely visit in the world. Please go! 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PxCmMUmFnfvkouPo8 #0yentravelFebruary2025#Jordan#Petraruins

Visiting the Treasury of Petra in March was a truly unforgettable experience. At that time, there weren't many tourists around, which made the visit even more magical. 🌅 Jordan isn’t yet a heavily visited destination, and Petra, with its awe-inspiring history, was almost tranquil when I was there. The Treasury (Al-Khazneh) is one of the most iconic and impressive monuments in Petra. 🏛️ Carved directly into the rose-red cliffs, it stands 40 meters high and is believed to have been a tomb for a Nabataean king. The detail in the architecture is absolutely remarkable – it's a masterpiece of ancient engineering. The whole area around the Treasury is dotted with other equally beautiful tombs and temples, making the entire site one of the most visually stunning places on Earth. Walking through Petra with fewer people allowed me to really absorb its beauty and historical significance without rushing. The atmosphere was peaceful, and you could hear the soft sounds of the desert as you explored. 🏜️ The Treasury itself, framed by towering sandstone walls, felt like stepping into another world. If you're lucky enough to visit Petra when it's not too crowded, you'll get the chance to truly experience this wonder without the usual hustle and bustle. It’s definitely a destination you can't miss! 🌍 #celebrateit

#2024TravelReview Khazneh is a temple in the center of the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. The temple was carved out of a single block of sandstone by the Nabataean Kingdom and is two thousand years old. The local Bedouins said that there was a treasure hidden on the top of the temple, so the temple was commonly known as the Treasury. Passing through the narrow and shaded snake path, you can see the Khazneh Temple.

Petra blew me away! The day began with excitement as you arrived at one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, Petra. The heat was already noticeable from early morning, so made sure to carry plenty of water. A sunhat and sunscreen! From the moment I stepped into the Siq, the narrow canyon that leads to the famous Treasury, I felt transported to another time. The stunning façade of Al-Khazneh (The Treasury) is even mire impressive up close - carved into the rose-red rock, it’s an iconic symbol of Petra’s grandeur. #VisitPetra #historicallandmarks As the day goes on, you continue exploring deeper into Petra, heading towards the Royal Tombs and the vast amphitheater. The stone steps and rocky paths can be tough under the hot sun, but the views are worth every step. Each corner of Petra tells a story of a once-thriving Nabatean civilisation, and every view is breathtaking. The highlight? Hiking to the Monastery (Ad-Deir). While the climb is challenging, it rewards you with panoramic views and an awe-inspiring structure. If you are up for an adventure, it’s well worth it! #localguides Pro Tip: once you reach the Monastery, the terrace right in front of it offers breathtaking views of the valley below. I highly recommend having a break or lunch there! It’s also an ideal spot for taking photos with the Monastery in the foreground #panoramicviews #photography Recommendations for Petra: - Arrive early: the site opens around 6 am, and arriving early will not only help you avoid the heat but also the large crowds. - Stay hydrated and protected: the Jordanian sun can be unforgiving, specially during summer. -Comfortable footwear: Petra requires a lot of walking! The hike to the Monastery, in particular, can be taxing and can take around 40 minutes. - Enjoy Local Food: plan for a meal at one of the restaurants inside, it’s great to sit down in the shade for a break while trying some local cuisine. -Plan your day: Petra is massive, you will need at least one full day exploring the site. We spend around 8 hours! Extra Tip: you can also visit Petra by night. Don’t miss the chance to see the Treasury lit by hundreds of candles-it’s an unforgettable experience. Petra is more than just a historical site, it’s an adventure that brings you closer to the rich past of Jordan and leaves a lasting impression! #petra #ancientwonders #travelinspiration #jordantrip #adventure #bucketlistdestination #culture #heritage

This is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Petra, Jordan. “The Treasury” is a rock-cut tomb of Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom. Petra was discovered in 1812 by a Swiss explorer and now it’s a world famous touristic place. You can visit it all around the year. I want in January and it was amazing beacause the Weather was not too hot and there were few people around. Petra in one of the 7 wonders of the modern world. The Treasury has appeared in many Hollywood films, like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Petra and The Treasury are a must see in a lifetime! #100WaysOfTravel #petra #jordan #seventeen

#Jordan #visitjordan #explorepetra #petrajordan #petra #jordantrip A visit to Petra is surely the highlight of a trip to Jordan . I spent the entire day there , and regretted not booking a 2 night stay in Petra , as the site is enormous, and very worthy of the time spent exploring the ancient city . Founded by the Nabataean civilization, Petra is known as the Rose city. Apart from the world famous Treasury and Monastery , be sure to hire a guide to the Tombs and the amphitheater . Definitely a bucketlist destination !

Jordan's most iconic site, Petra Ancient City, is famous for The Treasury, which gained worldwide recognition from the movie 'Indiana Jones.' Additionally, scenes from 'Transformers' were also filmed here. One unique feature is the entrance at the ticket office. After about an hour's walk, you'll encounter a section called the Siq. The narrowest part of the Siq can only accommodate four or five people walking side by side, with towering cliffs on both sides, creating a magnificent atmosphere. 😍 At the end of the Siq, The Treasury will appear. From The Treasury, you can continue to the less-visited Monastery on the mountain. The entire one-way journey from the ticket office is at least 8 kilometers, including a grueling section of over 800 steep steps. It's quite challenging. 😂 (This was introduced in the previous post.) Therefore, most tourists only visit the famous Treasury, which takes about 2-3 hours for a round trip. Nowadays, if you're willing to pay HKD 170 per person (one way), you can take an official golf cart directly to The Treasury without walking. However, if you want to visit the distant Monastery, you'll have to walk. 💪 PS: A 2-day daytime ticket for Petra Ancient City (6 AM - 6 PM) costs HKD 700 each.

Petra treasure, also known as Al-Khazneh, is a stunning example of ancient architecture and art. It is a rock-cut facade that was built by the Nabataeans, a nomadic Arab people who ruled over the region in the 1st century AD. Petra treasure was not actually a treasury, but a mausoleum for the Nabataean king Aretas IV. It was named so by the local Bedouins who believed that the urn on the top of the entrance contained hidden riches. Petra treasure is decorated with elaborate sculptures and carvings that reflect the cultural and religious influences of the Nabataeans. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Jordan and the Middle East, and has been featured in many movies and books. #cherryblossom2024

Nestled in the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, lies a marvel of ancient architecture known as Al-Khazneh, or "The Treasury". Carved directly from a sandstone rock face, this elaborate temple shows the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Nabatean Kingdom. The first glimpse of The Treasury upon exiting a narrow gorge leading into Petra, is breathtaking. Its intricate design, thought to depict various mythological figures associated with the afterlife, has withstood the test of time. Despite the erosion of some architectural details over the past two millennia, The Treasury remains undiminished. Originally built as a mausoleum and crypt at the beginning of the 1st century AD during the reign of Aretas IV Philopatris, The Treasury is steeped in history. Local legends even suggest that it once housed pharaonic treasures, leading to its name. Today, The Treasury stands as one of the most popular tourist attractions in Jordan and its fame has been further bolstered by its appearance in numerous films and media. #christmastrip

Petra is located in Wadi Musa, Jordan and you’re able to access the archeological site of Petra from Wadi Musa, access to Wadi Musa is via Coach, Driving or Taxi from what I am aware. Entrances fees into Petra can vary depending on how many days you’re planning to visit however I recommend getting ‘The Jordan Pass’ which allows you access into Petra and in my case being from the UK covered Visa costs as well as access to other sites across the country of Jordan for example in Amman. The entrance to Petra begins with the huge crevasse that is most known in Western Culture from the Indiana Jones movie, this portion of Petra lasts for 20 to 30 minutes and is magically with every bend being as unique as the previous alongside this the pure size of crevasse really has you in awe. Once you reach the end of the crevasse you’re met with The Treasury, Petra’s most famous landmark and most photographed, the huge building carved into the hillside is truly spectacular and makes you consider what is possible and achievable. Whilst visiting Petra you’re able to travel via Golf Cart, Horse, Donkey or Camel for various prices however in my instance I opted to just walk. You’re able to travel Petra at your own pace and along the way you have plenty of locations offering affordable food, drinks and souvenirs. #jordan #petra #TheTreasury #middleeast #Wadi-Musa #timetotravel
