Today, accompanied by our driver and then get to Petra, you'll have the unique opportunity to enter Petra in a way that few visitors experience—through the clandestine entrance to the Monastery. The trek begins on a trail winding through open farmland, offering captivating views of the Wadi Araba desert for the initial two hours. As the path contours around the mountain ridge, providing breathtaking vistas, the journey becomes more exhilarating. The narrow route, with sheer drop-offs, leads to Petra's most astonishing monument, the Monastery. Descend the well-trodden Nabataean steps into the heart of Petra, exploring Facades Street, Urn Tomb, the Theatre, Colonnaded Street, Royal Tombs, and Qasr al Bent. A lunch break near the amphitheater follows.
Exiting Petra through the Dark Siq, a secondary passage, you'll visit the High Place of Sacrifice before re-entering through the main Siq. This allows you to relish the iconic view of Petra, known as 'Al Khaznah' or 'The Treasury,' as if it were your first encounter. After immersing yourself in the unparalleled beauty of Al Khaznah, you'll be transferred to the Arava Border.
