We went to Jordan in 2022 for a relatively short stay. There are many attractions in Jordan, but Petra has to be one of the most obvious ones. The entire Petra grounds are 102 miles square, and we didn’t even come close to denting the whole area, but there are some common trails and pathways to take you to some of the major sites. While the Treasury is probably the most well known of the carved out facades (hello Indiana Jones), if you follow the path and keep going past more monuments, you will find a path that winds up a hill and at the top of that hill is this beautiful ‘building’, that is called the Monastery. One reason this one really stuck out to me was that it was really on its own, up on the top of the hill (other than a small restaurant and snack shop).
