Ad Deir ("The Monastery") is the largest and one of the most impressive rock-hewn structures in the city of Petra. Most visitors to Petra come to see El Khazneh ("The Treasury"), made famous by the movie "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade". Many fail to realize how massive the city is, however, and miss out on the wonder of The Monastery. At the far end of the archaeological park, climb the roughly 800 steps to the top (or take a donkey) and be rewarded by magnificent views and a glass of Bedouin chai (tea).
