When to Visit

• Crowd Considerations: If you prefer a more serene experience, try planning your visit during weekdays and avoiding weekends and public holidays when Petra tends to be busier.

Guided Tour vs. Solo Exploration

• Guided Tours: Joining a guided tour, like the one offered in our tour package, can provide you with invaluable insights from knowledgeable local guides, ensuring you don’t miss out on any hidden gems. It also takes away the hassle of planning and navigating the complex trails of Petra.
• Solo Exploration: If you prefer the freedom to go at your own pace and explore independently, Petra offers well-marked trails and maps that can assist you in navigating the site. However, be prepared for more adventurous undertakings.

Physical Preparedness

• Comfortable Footwear: As you’ll be walking and climbing various terrains, it’s essential to wear comfortable, sturdy shoes that can handle the rugged paths of Petra.
• Hydration and Snacks: Stay hydrated throughout your journey by carrying a water bottle. Pack some light snacks to keep your energy levels up as you explore the extensive site.

• The High Place of Sacrifice: Hike up to the High Place of Sacrifice, an elevated vantage point that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. This viewpoint also holds historical and religious significance.
• Petra by Night: If you have the opportunity, attending the Petra by Night experience is a must. Witness the Treasury illuminated by thousands of candles, creating a magical ambiance that will transport you to a different era.

Respecting the Cultural Heritage

• Dress Code: As Petra is part of a conservative country, it’s important to dress modestly out of respect for the local culture. This means covering your shoulders, avoiding revealing clothing, and wearing appropriate attire.
• Leave No Trace: Help preserve the beauty of Petra by not littering and respecting the historical significance of the site. Be mindful of your surroundings and do not damage or remove any artifacts.
