  • Petra Back Trail — Monastery Route Private Hiking Tour

    Petra Back Trail — Monastery Route Private Hiking Tour

    Skip the crowded main Siq and reach the Monastery (Ad Deir) the way few travelers do — via Petra’s scenic back trail from Little Petra. A private licensed local guide leads you through quiet mountain paths to the largest monument in Petra, then down into the ancient city to the Treasury, Royal Tombs and Theatre. A rewarding, off-the-beaten-path Petra day designed for active travelers who want the iconic sites with a side of adventure.

    Highlights

    • Enter Petra through the northern back trail from Little Petra — a quieter alternative to the main entrance
    • Arrive at Ad Deir (the Monastery) from behind, away from the large tour crowds
    • Hike through multi-coloured sandstone canyons and cliffside panoramas
    • Private licensed guide with deep Nabataean and Bedouin knowledge
    • Descend through the ancient city to the Treasury and the Siq

    What to expect

    Into Petra through the northern portal — a private itinerary that takes hikers off the beaten path, climbing through white sandstone peaks and arriving at Ad Deir (the Monastery) from behind. With a professional, licensed guide, the route is designed to avoid the large tour crowds. The day is flexible and adjustable to your pace rather than run to a fixed schedule.

  • Two Day Tour – Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea

    Two Day Tour – Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea

    Two-day private tour from Amman to Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea. Trip is flexible and can be customized. About 5 hours in Petra, a 2-hour 4×4 jeep tour in Wadi Rum at sunset, one night at a Wadi Rum desert camp at the level you choose (classic tent, 4★ deluxe tent or 5★ bubble dome) with dinner and breakfast, and a float in the Dead Sea on day 2. One of the most affordable ways to see all three highlights in two days.

    What to expect

    A long, memorable day on your feet in a spectacular desert setting.

There is an optional climb of around 800 steps to the Monastery (Ad Deir) for a panoramic reward. The ground is sand and rock, so sturdy closed-toe shoes, a hat and water are essential. Start times are adjusted seasonally to avoid the midday heat, and the pace is always yours to set.
