Day 4
Set out to Al Beidha, better known as Little Petra this morning, which was inhabited by the Nabataean and has many tombs, water containers and channels. Start the adventure from Little Petra, through the ‘back door’ to the magnificent Petra, a truly incredible and iconic walk across the deserts and mountains of Jordan. You need to be reasonably fit for some climbs. The spectacular views of the ever-expanding horizon as you climb, your real reward comes as you approach the top. At first, you can glimpse a strange, but obviously man-made carving poking above the skyline; as you walk further it slowly reveals itself to be the Monastery Tomb, towering above you. (Around 4-hour hike from Little Petra to the Monastery) Continue to explore monuments of different Nabetan/ roman and Christian periods await you – Tombs, Temples, Houses and Churches.
In the late afternoon, enjoy a local cuisine workshop working alongside local women under the supervision of a chef. Dinner included.
