It is the second most visited building in Petra after Al Khazneh.

- Panoramic Imaging: Dramatic and very impressive. Exactly what the architects had in mind 2000 years ago I suspect. My hike was 20,000 steps, 13km, and the equivalent of 85 floors climbed. So good boots and water….. And yes, 100% it’s worth the effort of getting there..!
- Ciaran Connolly: HAVE YOUR BEST WALKING SHOES!!! Water & sun hats! 🙂 There is a rest at the top where you can chill..but it is a decent walk up – especially after coming through all of Petra. At the top you get to see Petra’s largest building – from 1st century BC. Well worth it – if you can make it.
