About this experience

One day in Petra is a taste; two days let you understand it. On day one a licensed guide takes you through the main valley and up to the High Place of Sacrifice, and in the evening you return for Petra by Night (Sunday–Thursday).

Day two begins at Little Petra with the back trail over the mountains to the Monastery, and you finish at the viewpoint above the Treasury before driving back to Amman or on to Wadi Rum.
