Last year, we launched a virtual tour of Petra and more than 30 historical sites across Jordan in Google Street View. The interactive Maps experience took visitors on an intimate journey into Jordan’s lost city of stone. And now. We’ve made this historic trek even more immersive with a 360º experience for Google Cardboard.
We’ve used 360º mapping, aerial imagery and millions of photos stitched together. To recreate six of Petra’s most beautiful and iconic panoramas for you to explore. Audio narration. Interactive hotspots and sound effects guide you as you follow the footsteps of the ancient Nabataeans. This 2000-year-old civilization miraculously transformed the harshest of deserts into an oasis of life and culture.

Wander through the winding pathway of Al Siq to the Treasury. Petra’s most famous landmark. Look all around in 360º to explore every detail of this elaborate carved facade recognizable from movies like “Indiana Jones” and “Transformers.”
Make your way past Petra’s carved theatre. And hidden tombs until you reach Al Deir. Or the Monastery. No trip to Petra is complete without staring up in awe at its grandeur. The doorway alone is eight meters tall!
