Sleep beside the Rose City.
A stone hotel at the entrance to Petra. 130 rooms with balconies, a restaurant carved into the rock, a Turkish bath, a pool in the courtyard and a rooftop that faces the Petra mountains, where the sun goes down behind the ridge as the lanterns come on.
Petra opens at six. From Edom you are inside the Siq before the coaches arrive, back for lunch in the cave, and on the roof for the last light over the mountains.
From the Siq to the roof.
Breakfast, then the Siq
Out of the door and down Tourism Street. You are at the gate before the first coaches, with the Treasury almost to yourself.
Lunch in the cave
Back under the rock for the buffet: mansaf, grills, salads and sweets, in the cool of the sandstone.
Pool, hammam, sleep
A swim in the courtyard, the heat of the Turkish bath on tired legs, and an hour on your balcony.
The rooftop
Up to the terrace before the sun drops behind the Petra mountains. Tea or a cold drink as the lanterns come on and the valley goes dark. Petra by Night starts a short walk away.
Meet above Petra. Celebrate beside the pool.
A rooftop with an indoor lounge and an open terrace for meetings and presentations. A hall that seats more than three hundred. The hall and the pool terrace together for weddings of four hundred and more, with 130 rooms upstairs for the guests.
Your car is at the door.
