Petra in 5 Minutes: The Gorge, the Treasury’s Bullet Holes & 800 Steps to the Monastery

Walk Petra from the gorge to the Monastery: the Siq that was also a water system, a Swiss traveller in disguise, the Treasury’s shot-up urn, a theatre cut through older tombs, the ruined city centre and the climb of around 800 steps to Ad-Deir. Along the way, find out why so many of the places still standing were made for the dead. Historical scenes marked "AI reconstruction (illustrative)" are AI-generated illustrations, not documentary footage.
