After a nourishing breakfast, your group will set out for a full day of immersive exploration with your expert guide. The adventure begins at Little Petra, a serene Nabataean site that once served as a caravan stop along ancient trade routes. Together, you’ll wander through its rock-hewn facades and fresco-lined chambers, absorbing the quiet beauty of this historic enclave.

Next, board your shuttle to the trailhead for Petra’s famed Back Door Trail. This route bypasses the dry, initial sections and leads you directly into the heart of the wilderness. Embark on a 2 to 3-hour hike through dramatic sandstone canyons, natural rock bridges, and elevated plateaus. Along the way, soak in the breathtaking scenery before arriving at one of Petra’s most iconic treasures—the majestic Monastery (Ad-Deir). Approaching via the back entrance offers your group a quieter, more intimate encounter with this ancient marvel.

Your guide will then lead you into Petra’s main city, unveiling highlights such as the Royal Tombs, Colonnaded Street, Silk Tomb, The Treasury, and The Siq. Ample time is allotted to explore, reflect, and connect with the history and grandeur of this extraordinary archaeological site.

By late afternoon, board your coach for a scenic transfer back to your desert camp near Petra. Unwind with a hearty, locally inspired dinner, and as night falls, gather beneath the stars for a peaceful evening of stargazing — a perfect close to a day filled with wonder and discovery.
