Amazing views of Petra Treasure 🇯🇴

Petra treasure, also known as Al-Khazneh, is a stunning example of ancient architecture and art. It is a rock-cut facade that was built by the Nabataeans, a nomadic Arab people who ruled over the region in the 1st century AD. Petra treasure was not actually a treasury, but a mausoleum for the Nabataean king Aretas IV. It was named so by the local Bedouins who believed that the urn on the top of the entrance contained hidden riches. Petra treasure is decorated with elaborate sculptures and carvings that reflect the cultural and religious influences of the Nabataeans. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Jordan and the Middle East, and has been featured in many movies and books. #cherryblossom2024

Out of all the places I have been to in my life, Petra in Jordan was one of the most breathtaking locations I have had the chance to witness. From the breathtaking mood at night to the sheer scale of the rock carvings, everything was a pure breath of fresh air, and a time travel to the past. As we followed the Al-Khubtha trail to the top, we came to a little tent set up by some locals, who served us tea to enjoy the views with. Certainly a place I am dying to go back to, as this experience profoundly marked my heart with emotions and feelings 🇯🇴🐪 Pro tip, for the views from above, there are several locations, but I would recommend following the Al-Khubtha trail. it is a bit of a walk and hike, but you will definitely get to enjoy the views to yourself, away from the rest of the tourists. (Don’t listen to the local “fake” guides who would tell you that trail is closed so that they can bring you to another trail to earn commissions 😉)
