Welcome to Part 2 of my journey through Petra!! I will share with you the hike we did , which is called The High Place Sacrifice Trail.

Leaving the Treasury and walking down the trail you will come to the trailhead of High Place Sacrifice Trail, but along the way you will see some cool stuff!!

Back near the theatre and Street of Facades, a signposted set of steps leads south up a rocky slope to the High Place of Sacrifice, a diversion off the main path, but an unmissable part of a visit. Even if you have only one day in Petra, this is still worth the climb, about thirty or forty minutes with safe steps at all tricky points – there’s no scrambling or mountaineering involved.
