1 Petra, JORDAN
The Lost City of Petra has a charm like none other. The stunning landscape is matched with a rich history dating back to pre-historic times. A bucket-list worthy destination for history buffs, Petra offers an attraction for people of various faiths. This city that is literally carved into distinct red sandstone cliffs is home to caves, temples, tombs, and stories of a lost civilisation. While most visitors go to Petra just for the day, spending a night here is absolutely magical. Spend an evening under the stars, cherish a meal cooked over an open fire and soak in the history dating back many centuries. You can also book a traditional Bedouin cave to stay overnight. visitpetra.jo
