It’s the most recognisable building of Petra. It’s detail is the most well preserved, it is well worth visiting and the highlight of a trip to Jordan. The entrance through the siq makes it more impre… Full review by B T

Al-Khazneh, The Treasury, it means a place to keep your treasure and valuable belongings. It is one of the most elaborate rock-cut tombs in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom inhabited by the Arab… Full review by Abu_Firas_11

The treasury is just one of the jewels that Petra is having, magnificent structure surrounded by big rock canyon that makes more impressive the way to get there, worth every meter walked. Full review by JORGE A A
Just an interesting note. We are getting ready to travel to Petra later this year so I am doing a ton of research. I read about your experience with the young boys threatening you. Did you see Park Rangers? I found documentation that the US Park Service has set up their guidelines for Petra and it up like the US National Parks. I am just thinking that maybe people need to report them and complain more about them. It is a tragedy that this goes on but I hate bullies and tend to want to try to do what I can to make it better for the next people.
A:
This wasn’t me talking about young boys being threatening. Yes they bother you to sell stuff but there in no way threatening. It’s been a great experience.
How much is the ticket to Petra? Also, how can we get to Petra from Aqaba using public transport. Many thanks
A:
I would recommend renting a car and traveling by car in Jordan. It’s much easier and safe. Enjoy your trip. Also make sure to catch Petra by Night. Amazing experience!
I only have 24hrs in Jordan. My flight arrives at 8 am what is the best and most cost effective way to and from Petra from Amman?
A:
That is going to cut it very tight. From the airport to Petra is almost 3 hours, so you have 6 in a car both ways. To see all of Petra you need at least 4-5 hours. Perhaps there is a tour …

Is there a trail map on how to get to the high trails that look down on the treasury? I've seen several photos from pin high but all the maps keep you to the standard tourist trails on the valley floor.

superpear, I cannot provide you with a trail map, but the trail uphill to the treasury viewpoint from above starts right after Palace tomb. It's called al-Khubtah rail and from experience of previous travelers it takes 40-45 min one way. It seems it is well marked and doable without a guide. eventually you reach a tent (probably a tea-shop) and take the path downhill on the left hand side of the tent. There has been a detailed post on TA forum but somehow I cannot paste the link here. Search for it and it will be even clearer. Indra
