Leaving the tomb of Uneishu and the rest of the Petra archaeological city behind us we continued on our visit through the Outer Siq to the magnificent Al-Khazneh; which is probably the most photograp… Full review by 857geoffh

I dare anyone not to be amazed by the first sight they have of the Treasury Al-Khazneh as they emerge from the Siq. It truly is an amazing structure, especially when you consider that it was built b… Full review by 857geoffh

The best place to visit in Jordan, it’s definitely the highlight of Petra! The colour of the stone is distinct from the entire Petra, as it is more reddish and looks beautiful during sunset. You can … Full review by Inspire67372237937
Just an interesting note. We are getting ready to travel to Petra later this year so I am doing a ton of research. I read about your experience with the young boys threatening you. Did you see Park Rangers? I found documentation that the US Park Service has set up their guidelines for Petra and it up like the US National Parks. I am just thinking that maybe people need to report them and complain more about them. It is a tragedy that this goes on but I hate bullies and tend to want to try to do what I can to make it better for the next people.

This wasn’t me talking about young boys being threatening. Yes they bother you to sell stuff but there in no way threatening. It’s been a great experience.
I only have 24hrs in Jordan. My flight arrives at 8 am what is the best and most cost effective way to and from Petra from Amman?

The site opens until 5pm - if you want to make it happen, the best way is to take a taxi or car from the airport and head there, it will take around 4 hours to reach and you need like minimum 3 hours in the site, a lot of walking is involved. I personally recommend driving both ways during day time, it is a bit stressful at night if you are driving!
Is there a trail map on how to get to the high trails that look down on the treasury? I've seen several photos from pin high but all the maps keep you to the standard tourist trails on the valley floor.

superpear, I cannot provide you with a trail map, but the trail uphill to the treasury viewpoint from above starts right after Palace tomb. It's called al-Khubtah rail and from experience of previous travelers it takes 40-45 min one way. It seems it is well marked and doable without a guide. eventually you reach a tent (probably a tea-shop) and take the path downhill on the left hand side of the tent. There has been a detailed post on TA forum but somehow I cannot paste the link here. Search for it and it will be even clearer. Indra
