ACTIVITIES and TRANSPORT

 The "Back Way" is a Nabatean pathway that enters Petra from the back (as opposed to entering Petra through the Siq or narrow canyon which is more like the "front door"). The views are out of this world.  To walk the entire way to the Monastery in Petra from camp with a guide is 45 JD.  It takes about 2.5 hrs. The Guide leaves you at the Monastery in Petra.  You can also take a local government 4x4 along the track (5 JD pp) and walk the final 1 hr.  You then take the trail out through Petra to the Visitors Centre. 

 Aaron is the brother of Moses and his tomb, built in the 14th century, is on the top of Mt Harun, 1350 meters above sea level. It is a 6-7 hr hike (there and back) and the Guide costs 100 JD. If you need a transfer to and from the start of the Hike in Um Sayhoun Village, then there is also a 10 JD transfer fee. 

 The Wadi Araba desert is at sea-level.  The drive down from the Petra basin is spectacular. We can drive you down for lunch in the desert - with tea and food prepared over a fire in the traditional manner.  The trip takes 3 hrs and is 60 JD for 2 people. 

 It is a 2hr drive to Wadi Rum from Seven Wonders Luxury Camp in Little Petra .   For 130 JD, we offer a return day trip from our camp that includes a 3 hr jeep tour in Wadi Rum (for up to 2 people). The Wadi Rum ticket is not included in this price and you would need to buy one at the Wadi Rum Visitors Centre. 

 All around the local area and a little further afield there are mountain tops, canyons and riverbeds to explore.  The photo above is taken in Wadi Gweir which runs from Dana to Wadi Araba. If you want to hike - let us know. If you want more information - contact us. We are here to assist. 

 We can organise horse rides.  It is 25 JD per hour per person and the minimum trek time is 2 hrs. We need 24 hrs notice.  Also, we will need to know your height, weight and riding experience.
