Description
This trail takes you off the main track to reach Ad-Deir, or the Monastery, via a back road route. The trail begins at Kharrubat al-Fajja, which is 50 meters west of the main road to Beidha, and ends at Ad-Deir. The beginning of this trail is easy, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful landscape of the area and the mountain views overlooking Wadi Araba as you walk. It also takes you through an agricultural area. Donkeys can be used for the round trip, taking you from the starting point to the beginning of the steps that lead to Ad-Deir and back again. From the visitor center you can go by car or bus to the beginning of this trail, which starts at a site that is just off the main road leading to Beidha.

Itinerary
Petra - Wadi Musa
You will meet your guide at the Visitors Centre near the ticketing office. You will need to purchase your entry ticket (or we can purchase/arrange it if it is included with our package). You will then be transferred 15 minutes to the Little Petra Area. This back road trail was a Nabatean Processional Route winding it’s way through beautiful mountains area to the Monastery. It offers great views of Wadi Araba. You will have a chance to rest at the Monastery before continuing down the mountain and out of Petra via the Main Trail. This is a bit more adventurous and begins with a 20mins drive to the areas called Little Petra. This served as the trading area for the main site of Petra. We will begin with a 3hrs hike through little Petra and beautiful surrounding mountains area, until you reach the monastery .Then you will continue the rest of the day to explore more of Petra, then through the main site of Petra exiting from the main gate.
