Petra: An Archaeological Guide

This book can be a nice travel companion for anyone who wishes to ‘learn in the field’. It is so well written and documented, and it covers everything thoroughly. The author gives even some tips how to best visit the site depending on your time availability. For an archeo-historian as I am, it is a must!

An incredible useful guide for a solo tour in Pedra or just to help you in deciding how to plan your staying in the city

If you plan to spend several days in the region this is a good guide to some of the more obscure things to do in the region. The background and history was good, but as a travel guide for a day or two the free info from visit.petra and other sources is probably better.

Professional, but written in an easy way. I've found here lot's of interesting facts and beautifull pictures.

This is an excellent book but is let down by the black and white photos. Petra is a colourful and vibrant place and that should be reflected in the book. I'd rather have paid more and had colour photos.

Bien mais peu illustré

Very helpful guide for the traveler who doesn't stop along the main route or limit his visit to three hours. This was the only truly helpful guide we used for Petra, and we hiked 8 of the trails listed. The author's suggestions for trails with the amount of time available is excellent.Please don't waste your money on other Petra guides.
