Explore Little Petra
Less-visited but equally charming, Little Petra was thought to have been a commercial area where caravans would have paused. The Bedouin are still able to sleep in the caves here, which they are not allowed to do on the main sight of Petra.

Experience Petra when it is at its most enchanting. Over 1,800 candles are set up to light your way through the Siq, leading you to the Treasury, where the facade glows with the soft light of hundreds of candles and echoes the soft sounds of Bedouin music.OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO STAY
