Petra - Wadi Musa
After little Petra, you explore the famous Nabataean site of Petra. You will start the tour of the site at the back entrance and arrive, after a walk in the mountain, in front of the famous monastery. This trail saves you from climbing the 800 steps and allows you to be the only ones in front of the monastery. Once in Petra, you will notice that there are very few independent buildings: the Nabataeans preferred to carve their houses in the pink sandstone cliffs. The tour then takes you to the Khazneh, one of Petra’s most elaborate temples. You will be guided through the city before having free time to visit at your own pace.
