From here walk along the Street of Facades, lined with tall monuments, after you see on the right side the so called Royal Tombs. Climbing up stairs the Urn Tomb, the Silk Tomb with rich coloured sandstone, the Corinthian and the Palace Tomb can be found. Another imposant monument in Petra is the Monastery "El Deir", 50 meters wide and 45 meters high. It is a great distance from he main entrance and can only be visited via a small path of more than 800 stairs. But all the efforts are worth it! For those who have more than one day to spend in Petra there are several other sites to discover, requiring hiking uphill. For instance the so called High Place of Sacrifice or Jabal Haroun where you find on top the white tomb of Aaron, brother of Prophet Moses.
