Petra
Historical place · Maan
Jordan
"A new farm-to-table restaurant, Petra is all about modern Mediterranean fare served in an elegant, brick and marble-clad space. Owner Jade Benetatos works with local farms to assemble vibrant, buffet-style lunches that invite customers to build their bowls and salads. In addition to food, there’s a quaint craft and to-go foods section, perfect for souvenir and road trip fuel shopping." - Flora Tsapovsky
"Otherwise cloaked by night, the towering crimson walls of the slot canyon are revealed by the 1,500 flickering candles that flank the footpath leading to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra. As I rounded the bend, a luminous sliver of the Treasury presented itself through a wavy chasm. Upon emerging from the gorge, known as the Siq, I was granted the full, illustrious view of Petra's most famous facade aglow with the light among hundreds of candles blanketing its foreground." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Souza mentions visiting Petra, Jordan with President Obama, marking it as one of the memorable new places he visited."
"Petra is a marvel and the views and scenery you take in when getting here on foot are worth the blisters and sunburn. But it’s the people you meet along the way that make the experience so special. When I say goodbye to Petra, I pass a Bedouin woman in her souvenir stall. I decline her fossilized stones, but as I walk away she offers me tea for my onward journey."
"Turkish Airlines passengers can get 15 percent off the entrance fee at Petra after presenting their boarding pass."
