Walk through the Nabataean city carved from rose-red sandstone. GPS-triggered narrations play automatically as you explore — from the Siq to the Monastery.
Every stop traces back to primary archaeological and heritage records. Not AI-generated guesses. Here's how each narration gets built.
Each stop pulls from OpenStreetMap (the open mapping database used by Apple Maps and Tesla), Wikidata (the peer-reviewed structured-data project), the heritage authority below, and primary historical texts where they exist.
Cross-referenced against Department of Antiquities of Jordan · Petra Archaeological Park.
Every sentence is checked against the verified sources above. Anything that can't be supported gets cut.

The Djinn Blocks, Obelisk Tomb, the dam and tunnel, the dramatic 1.2 km gorge with 80-metre walls, and the breathtaking first view of the Treasury.
The Colonnaded Street, Great Temple, Temple of the Winged Lions, Qasr al-Bint, the Pool and Garden complex, Royal Tombs, Byzantine Church, and the Crusader Fort.
The High Place of Sacrifice, Wadi Farasa tombs, the 800-step climb to the Monastery, Little Petra, and the 9,000-year-old Neolithic village at Beidha.
A 40-metre facade carved directly into the cliff — probably a royal tomb for King Aretas IV. Corinthian columns, Amazons, eagles, and a bullet-scarred urn that Bedouin shot at, hoping to release hidden gold.
Petra's largest carved monument — 50 metres wide and 45 metres high. An 800-step climb rewarded with a facade so large the doorway alone stands 8 metres tall.
A narrow gorge with walls 80 metres high and terracotta water pipes that supplied 30,000 people in the desert. The final approach frames the Treasury in a sliver of light.
A mountaintop altar with carved blood channels, washing basins, and 360-degree views. Where the Nabataeans performed animal sacrifices to Dushara and al-Uzza.
Four monumental tombs carved into the eastern cliff face — the Urn, Silk, Corinthian, and Palace Tombs. The Palace Tomb is so wide the cliff ran out and builders finished the upper corner in masonry.
A miniature version of Petra with the only known Nabataean painted ceiling — vivid frescoes of grape-gathering Erotes in a Dionysiac scene, still colourful after 2,000 years.
Tap "Start Walking Tour" and allow location access. The map shows all 57 narration points.
Follow the suggested route or explore freely. GPS tracks your position. Reach a site and the narration plays automatically.
Each narration connects what you can see to the Nabataean people who carved, traded, and worshipped here. History as it happened, on the ground where it happened.
Narrations play when you reach each site. No buttons, no track numbers. Walk naturally — the stories find you.
Premium narration that sounds like a documentary. Warm and knowledgeable, not a textbook reading.
Every narration is drafted, cross-checked against primary sources, then passed through a second editorial pass that strips unsupported claims. Dates, names, and citations verified.
See all narration points on the map. Tap any point to hear it early or replay it later.
From the Siq entrance to Little Petra. Major landmarks get deep dives. Smaller ruins get concise, vivid narrations.
Spend an hour or a full day. Skip sites, revisit favourites, take breaks. The tour adapts to you.
Three ways, all built in:
The map-tap option means you can stand anywhere — even at home before you travel — and play any narration. GPS just makes it hands-free while you’re actually walking the site.
No. Use the “Download for offline” button before you go, and the entire tour — audio, maps, narration text — works without any data connection. Tap-to-play and the map both work fully offline. GPS itself doesn’t need data; only the download does.
Two backstops. First, the map shows every site — just tap the marker for the place in front of you. Second, you can manually queue any narration even when GPS is off. The platform never assumes GPS works; it’s the convenience layer, not the gate.
The audio runs ~3.5 hours audio total, but you walk at your own pace. 57 narration points across the site. Most visitors take 2–4 hours; some spread it over multiple visits. Your access lasts 30 days from purchase, so revisit as often as you like.
One purchase covers one device session. Most couples share earbuds and use a single phone — the audio is paced for that. If you want everyone listening on their own device, each person needs their own purchase. We do not gate sharing aggressively; we trust visitors to do the right thing.
Full refund if you never trigger a single narration on-site. Partial refund based on how far you got. See the refund policy for specifics.
