Souvenir Shopping

Petra offers a wealth of opportunities for souvenir shopping. One can buy various items such as handicrafts, wooden items, antiques, clay pots and much more as a reminder of the Rose City. Some of Petra's best places for souvenir shopping are the Town Bazaar, Souk Zara, Wadi Musa Silver Production Center and Petra Pottery Association. These shopping centers, except the Petra Pottery Center, are located in an area called Wadi Musa, close to Mövenpick resort Petra.

At Town Bazaar, one can shop for high-quality key rings, magnets and Dead Sea products at reasonable prices, while Souk Zara is more famous for selling antiques and traditional Jordanian souvenirs.

Petra Pottery Association is a work of art. It sells authentic Nabataean pottery made from different types of clay with leaf and flower designs. At the same time, the Wadi Musa Silver Production is an initiative of the Nabataean Women's Cooperative that sells handmade jewelry such as silver necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, anklets, silver chains and pendants and much more. Wadi Musa Silver Production Center is temporarily closed until further notice but there are a plethora of local shops in Wadi Musa apart from those mentioned here.
