Monastery (Al Dayr)

Reviewed By georgeworld85 - Athens, Greece

After Treasury the Monastery is one of the most impressive monumental buildings in Petra. It is carved in a limestone rock and after a very long walk (it's abput an hour and a half walk from Treasury) you'll be standing in awe in front of a really breathtaking building. There is a cafe right in front of the monument where you can enjoy your tea.

High Place of Sacrifice

Reviewed By JBG1 - Leicester, United Kingdom

Whilst the site itself takes a bit of getting to most people will say it is worth it especially for the views and photo opportunities. The option of a different route back also makes it interesting.We did this walk with our tour guide which obviously is the best way to do it because of all the detailed information one gains during the trip adding to the interest of a 3/4 hour walk.Obviously you need to be mobile and be wearing the correct footwear, clothing and make you you have adequate water with you.

Really nice place with a great view at the end. Saw this before Petra and it was a great introduction. I was given a nice tour of Little Petra and the Neolithic village nearby by Sami Amarein. Sami also offered to guide me for a hike to the monastery in Petra or stay in his Bedouin tent and have dinner but unfortunately I didn’t have time.
