For Arabs there are offers made for most of the year for JOD 10 per person for a day visit but it could be JOD 50 per person for a day visit. All other nationalities are JOD 50 person for a day visit. It also depends upon their age as if they are under 12 years of age it is free of charge. It also depends upon how many days they wish to visit Petra. (1 day = JOD 50 per person, 2 days = JOD 55 per person, 3 days = JOD 60 per person).

About Petra
Petra is the rose-red Nabataean city carved into the sandstone cliffs of southern Jordan, reached through a narrow gorge called the Siq.
Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans, Arab traders who grew rich on incense and spice caravans and carved tombs, temples and houses into the sandstone cliffs more than two thousand years ago. Visitors enter through the Siq, a narrow winding gorge more than a kilometre long, and emerge facing the Treasury, a rose-coloured facade of columns and statues cut straight into the rock. The city is a World Heritage Site and was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
Top-ranked sights in Petra: Shobak Castle (Krak de Montréal), Little Petra (Siq al-Barid), Treasury (al-Khazneh).
