He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Firmly featuring on the itinerary of every traveller to the Middle East since the days of the Grand Tour, Petra is one of the most visited sites in the Middle East.
- The temples are now firmly on the international sightseeing circuit, making it hard to appreciate their majestic architecture and profound religious significance in anything approaching peace and quiet.
- The entire building is a traffic roundabout and the interior is too precious to host concerts.
