BASE Jumping Over the ‘Lost City’ of Petra

With over 7,000 skydives and 4,000 BASE jumps under his belt, Miles Daisher doesn’t have all that many new heights to conquer.

But as a member of the Red Bull team, anything is jumpable—including the cliffs around the famed “lost city” of Petra in Jordan. The site’s most memorable ruins, Al Khazneh (or “The Treasury”), turned out to be the picturesque site of Daisher’s latest feat.

Watch as he BASE jumps from just 209 feet above the ruins.
