Been there!! It is FABULOUS@!!! Like NOTHING you’ve ever seen!! EVERYONE shouyld go there!
Visited last year and thought it was incredible.
Was there in 1996.....agree! Highlight was climbing to the top of the monastery and unfurling a flag while on top of the circular section!
No they shouldn't! Too damned many tourists spoil the trap.
Candy wrappers flutting along the ground; squalling brats too young and cranky to appreciate what they're seeing; know it all loudmouths who are 80% wrong about every pronouncement they make; the inevitable taggers and other vandals carving their marks for an uncaring posterity; hawkers, beggars, and pickpockets preying on the hordes have already ruined too many iconic places...even Everest...to want to unleash them upon Petra.
