Petra, Jordan
30.3285, 35.4444
Gates open at 6 AM. Be there at 5:45 AM to be among the first through the Siq. The Treasury with no crowds is worth the early wake-up.
insiderMost tourists stop at the Treasury. The Monastery is more impressive but requires 800 steps. Start early, take water, the views are incredible.
activityOne day isn't enough. Buy the 2-day ticket - it's only slightly more expensive and lets you see everything at a relaxed pace.
