Day 5 Little Petra & Petra: Along the Bedouin Trail

This morning visit Little Petra, located a few miles away from the main valley, and a less-visited site with a charm all of its own. From here you then travel a short distance to the start of the Back Door Route to the main site of Petra - a spectacular, but little-known, Bedouin trail. This route offers a unique insight into two very different sides of Petra, with dramatic views and the chance to escape the crowds. This evening you will then be treated to a very special experience, visiting Petra at night, as you follow the candles through the siq and enjoy local Bedouin music as you sit and admire the Treasury lit up at night, a memory that will stick with you for many years to come.

Day 6 Petra – Wadi Rum: Desert Camp

This morning is free for you to explore Petra further taking in some more of the ancient tombs and carvings. In the afternoon head south to experience the unique landscapes of Wadi Rum. Today you will experience not only history but the unique landscapes of Wadi Rum. Wadi Rum is a vast, silent desert, both romantic and extremely beautiful, where massive mountains rise vertically out of the pink desert sand, eroded by the wind into shapes of men, animals and monsters. Transfer through the desert to your camp and enjoy the afternoon to take in the peace and quiet or enjoy a walk in the surrounding area. Sunset is particularly delightful as the desert glows for miles into the horizon and you can enjoy a sundowner at the camp.

The Backdoor trail to Petra is the best way to see the ancient city. It's a great hike and if you start early, you'll end up with parts of Petra almost to yourself as most tourists come in via the normal Siq route.
