Wadi Musa

On the King’s Highway, Wadi Musa is a town leading into the legendary UNESCO site of Petra, the Red Rose City. In Maan Governante, three hours from the capital of Amman, Wadi Musa is said to be the resting place of Aaron, brother of Moses; The Tomb of Aaron is found on Jebel Harun (believed to be the Mount Hor described in the Bible). Indeed this is a place rich in religious and archaeological history, with a heritage spanning back to ancient times. But most stay in Wadi Musa as a gateway to visiting the Nabatean settlement of Petra, one of the 7 New Wonders of the World, with its treasury, monastery and royal tombs.
