Petra · The Rose City · day 1
Al-Khazneh (The Treasury)
Why here
The single most cinematic moment in archaeology; at sunrise the whole face glows.
Stone the colour of a held breath.
When to come
season
spring or autumn
time
early morning sun
weather
clear
crowd
calm at opening, then constant
⊘ Climbing on or behind the Treasury is restricted and dangerous; the 'viewpoint' touts overcharge — agree prices first.
