The Petra Museum

The Petra Museum: modern galleries of Nabataean art, science and daily life.

The Petra Museum, near the visitor centre, is a beautifully designed modern museum of Nabataean civilization — sculpture, the famous marble faces, water engineering models and the burned manuscripts from the Byzantine Church.

Air-conditioned and well-labelled, it is perfect before or after the site. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan start here, and full package tours to Jordan include it with entry tickets.
