The Royal Tombs of Petra are an essential part of Jordan's historical heritage. These imposing tombs, carved into the pink rock characteristic of the ancient city, are impressive examples of Nabataean architecture. They were the burial places of Nabataean kings and elites, and each of them is adorned with sculpted details and monumental facades. These strikingly beautiful structures blend Greek, Roman and Oriental influences, creating an atmosphere that is both mystical and majestic. Walking through this archaeological site, you will discover tombs such as the Tomb of Urn, the Tomb of the Obelisk and the Tomb of the Sultana, each a masterpiece in its own right. The view from the heights of Petra captures the full extent of the ingenuity and grandeur of this ancient civilisation. A visit to the Royal Tombs immerses you in the history and culture of the Nabataeans, transporting you to a bygone era that is still very much alive.
