Petra




From the entrance to the start of the 'siq' is this long stretch of dirt path. It's a fun walk at the start of each day but at the end of the day, it is a tiring walk. That is why it is important to stay as close to the entrance as possible. If one is staying further out in Wadi Musa, one might have to take a taxi to the hotel at the end of the day. There are lots of Bedouins plying horse rides along this path or horse carts. Not everyone who visits are young and fit. A lot are elderly and older and less fit and these means of transportation are a godsent.
