Itinerary

Day 1: Petra Back Way

  • 1

    Back-Way Hike

    Today we will enter Petra via 'the Back Door,' avoiding most of the crowds. We will hike a beautiful route up out of the desert valley that skirts around a sandstone mountain into a hidden high plateau and the back entrance to Petra.

    Your hike is rewarded as you approach the largest and best-preserved facade in all of Petra. Without the crowds of the main sites below, this site is great for photos!

    Amphitheatre

    View the impressive theatre, carved into the mountain about 2000 years ago, with a capacity of 4000 spectators.

    Awe at the most-well known facade in Petra, expertly carved into the side of the cliff and standing almost 40 meters tall.

    Siq

    Exit the Nabatean city through the magnificent tall slot-canyon main entrance to Petra known as the Siq.

    From this back entrance, we'll climb up to the High Place of sacrifice with sweeping views of the Royal Tombs.

    Free Exploration

    From the center of Petra, you will have free time to further explore the magical site on your own or head back to enjoy the cave bar or get some rest.
