Wadi Musa: Cosa vedere
-
Silk Tomb
The most attractive tomb in the area. The rich colour of sandstone is said to be changing during the day!
-
The Street of Facades
This path leads to the center of the ancient city and is surrounded by carved tombs. Tall tombs belong to the rich and short to the poor.

Sextius Florentinus Tomb
Built at the time of Sextus Florentinos, the governor of the Arab state. There are remains of columns and statues left.
-
The Theater
Petra Theater is a first century AD Nabataean theatre situated 600 m from the centre of Petra.
-
Lion Monument
A fountain in the shape of a lion carved into sandstone. Unfortunately the head is missing now, but you can see where the water once flowed.
-
High Place of Sacrifice
Open-air altar carved out by the Nabataeans. You can even climb to the top of the mountain or take a donkey, but careful, the path is steep!
-
Colonnaded Street (Cardo Maximus)
Although the former main street is badly damaged, it is partially preserved. Its remains are about half a kilometre long.
-
Garden Temple
Probably a water cistern with a chamber for the person who managed it. It provided water for those who headed to the High Place of Sacrifice.
