High Place

As its name suggests, the High Place sits high above the main area of Petra and getting there involves a steep climb, but the views you will have are certainly rewarding. The trail begins shortly after the exit from the outer Siq where you will climb up ancient Nabataean steps. At the top you can stop to take in the magnificent panorama before turning right to descend to Wadi Farasa to see the Lion Fountain, Garden Triclinium, Roman Soldier Tomb, Renaissance Tomb and Az Zantur excavation.

Follow the main trail to the street of facades and then you branch off to the left, before reaching the theatre, where you fill find steps that lead up to the High Place of Sacrifice.
