Heavy climb there. But it's worth it, just because of the view. Here, too, the sunset can be viewed very beautiful.

Petra (ancient Greek Πέτρα [ˈpɛtʁa] “rock, rock mass”, Arabic البتراء al-Batrā ’, Nabataean probably Reqmu“ the red ”), a ruin site in present-day Jordan, was the capital of the Nabataean empire in antiquity. Because of its monumental grave temples, the facades of which were carved directly from the rock, it is considered a unique cultural monument. On December 6, 1985, Petra was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

I recommend reaching the sacrifice place from behind. You will then pass many sights such as the tomb of the Roman soldier.
