Petra tour map 1 day tour sites , the Nabatean Capital |
The tour begins in the visitor center of Wadi Musa and ends in Petra restaurant area. The entrance to Petra is via long narrow that is called "siq" . The tombs in the city were carved by the Nabateans and their purpose was to eternalize the rulers by building such an elaborate house/grave/tomb for them. Petra is a mystic and glorious place, an eternal tribute to the lost civilization of the Nabateans. These industrious Desert Masters carved an entire city: theatre, temples, facades, tombs, monasteries, houses into the natural rose-red sandstone rocks that surrounds it. They left for us to see and marvel!
