World Heritage Site (Day 1 Little Petra)

The visit to Petra is planned for the weekend. A cheap and comfortable option for the approximately 250km journey is the JETT (a regular bus service that connects the most important points in the north and south (only 10 dinars to join).

Halfway through, there's a small break with toilets / coffee and the biggest souvenir shop ever...

I'm lucky with the hotel (Petra Heart). It was built shortly before the pandemic and it's probably the friendliest hotel I've ever experienced. Currently, I'm the only guest, and in addition to the beautiful room, there's a rooftop terrace with a view of the modern city amidst the mountains.

First, the historic 'suburb' Siq el-Barid (also known as Little Petra) is visited. And it truly lives up to its name... it gives you a taste of the real Petra. In addition to impressive buildings and caves from ancient times, hikers and climbers will also find something here. The Bedouins, who offer their handmade goods, fit the picture. And they've probably seen better times too.
