Many on my group thought it was fantastic and really enjoyed the visit climbing to the heights. I prefer the photography of a truly beautiful historical venue but overrun by tacky tourism. Avoid.

Simply amazing. I felt like I was in a movie the entire walk, using the back door. Absolutely incredible. A truly wonder of the world. It was a dream come true.. Everyone must see it and imagine living there ages ago..

The landscape was unique and beautiful, and do I need to explain why the city carved in mountain is amazing. It’s definitely a challenging hike given the hot weather. Make sure you bring plenty of water and wear comfortable clothes.

A must to visit place, not only in Jordan, but in the world This wonder of a place is a city that is carved within the rocks of the mountains from thousands of years ago To reach the “treasury” you must walk through a valley for nearly 50 minutes It is totally worth it to enjoy the sight and take memorable pictures with this wonder of the world

Truly a wonder of the ancient world, and the principal cultural treasure of the Kingdon of Jordan. It's worth the trip. We spent a day there and only saw the things on the main path. There are many other sites off the main trail. We could have spent two or three days exploring it all. We should have got our admission tickets at the airport when we obtained our visas. Don't forget Little Petra - if you have the time. Water, sunblock, a hat, and good shoes are a must. You can pay to be driven/carried all the way to the Monastery. So many vendors. In some places they ruined the atmosphere of it. But they have a right to be there - It's their home. Just don't buy anything from children.

This whole place is magical and full of jaw dropping scenery and beautiful architectural marvels. Everywhere you see, hundreds of beautiful stoned carved palaces and sleeping places. I highly recommend visiting Petra once in a lifetime.

It was one of the most astonishing places I've been to. It's definitely a must-see. Pictures don't do justice to Petra.

Petra is an exceptionally beautiful place filled with amazing facades on stone mountains done around two thousands years ago. It gives chill through the veins to walk along the valley pavements once used by the Greek, Persian, and Arab caravans.

There are no words to describe. You must visit and see for yourself... beautiful, stunning views. Make sure you have one full day at the list 6 hours. I spent 2 days and wasn't enough. Staff is super helpful, especially the security at the bus stop who helped me so much. Thank you. I took a buggy the second day as it helped me time wise to visit the monastery and get further and quicker. Make sure you have good walking shoes, hat 👒, sun protection, and water. There are plenty of places you can stop for tea and lunch at the Nabatean restaurant. Buy a Jordan Pass before you arrive. It includes your visa and tourist sides

Beautiful and special place, with a lot of history. Highly recommend going with a local guide that can explain all the important things. It can get extremely hot during the summer, therefore it's better to go early in the morning and take a lot of water with you.

Unbelievable & impressive - well deserved world wonder status. Would recommend to spend two days if you’re not a very fast & fit walker / climber

Breathtakingly beautiful site, loved the hike up to the Monastery. There are so many hidden paths and trails that take you to different viewpoints. It's an amazing place to visit and revisit.

Must see site. Incredible once in a lifetime experience with my beautiful girlfriend. Use the shuttle to take you down and back. The walk is long and tiring. Will definitely go back.

I’ve traveled all over and seen many things . Petra I’ll remember for the remainder of my days. I highly encourage a mule ride if you’re short for time. We hired a mule for the ride and was amazing

Absolutely stunning, well worth the hike and distance! So happy we went all the way as it’s breathtaking. You will not regret. Once you get there, there’s a couple of stores for you to take a break, get food, snacks and drinks, and after you can continue with the walk to go right to the top and get an even better panorama view.

Really cool place to go but the hike there during a hot day is very difficult. Lots of stairs. So beware of that! Still loved going there as this is a very interesting construction and place. You re very high and you can see a lot of things around.

The Monastery stands after a whooping 700 steps walk under the sun in the morning and with some shades on the second part of the climb in the afternoon. While meeting a lot of people on the way up and down it is not crowed. We walked with our 11,13 and 15 years old and it was just fine. The Monastery is an amazing building even though you can only see the outside!!!

We went early in the morning with no stops on our second day to petra and it was tiring but achievable. Plenty of shoes that sell cold beverages if you need. Less crowded than the treasury. It has a nice cave and you can take beautiful photos. It also has a rock where u can lay down relax and enjoy the view while the treasury didn't have a god viewpoint even though we did the trail up the hills.

Hiking to the Monastery is a great experience if you have the time. It’s not easy, but it was worth the effort to see this part of Petra. The Monastery is much bigger than the Treasury and quite impressive to stand in front of. Don’t ride the donkey. If you can’t walk yourself, then don’t go.

We took the back trail to the Monastery. Loved it. The Monastery is one of Petra's main attractions. It's worth the climb any way you get there. Great photo opportunity. We saw an Insta-girl go through her preparations, get photographed by a friend at a most advantageous position for a few minutes, then leave. You can get a nice overhead view by climbing to the coffee shop.

Well. This is not as spectacular as the treasury but I would still visit it for the small hour long trek (easy trekking but not recommended for elders or with disability). The route offers spectacular views if deep gorges. And the result is not bad. The monastery has a cleaner and complete look. The stone color is different. And you can enjoy staring at it from the shop in front.

Incredible and absolutely massive. I was able to do the hike 4 1/2 months pregnant and 18M post hip operation without any trouble. Big incline but everything is pretty easy steps and plenty of places to rest along the way. We came for sunset and were one of maybe 10 tourists the entire time, thanks to our local Bedouin guide.

Absolutely stunning. The hike was worth, the views are fantastic. When i ended up reaching this place there was Hardly any people. Petra is not just the treasury which is 40 mins walk to visitor center, I encourage everyone if possible must visit the Monastery as well, it is worth, it’s is beautiful.

Walking in a narrow canyon on the main trail on the way to the treasury. It was really hot out and suddenly cooled down since the canyon walls block the sunlight. Reminds me a lot of antelope canyon and the narrows from Zion national park. Even though the main trail is a long walk, walking through here made it seem very short since walking through here itself felt like part of the experience

It's always beautiful to walk in this valley. The road is narrow and the rocks are tall. A lot of different colors of the rocks are also stunning. And after all there is waiting for the beauty of the whole journey. The most famous and iconic building from the whole country. Thank you🤩

Truly gorgeous views, rivaling the monuments themselves. The sunlight and shadow highlight the already painted canyon walls in never-ending variety. You'll need to follow the slot canyon photography strategy: take a picture, turn around, take another picture. Take a few steps, and the scene changes completely, so repeat for the next mile. Go first thing or last thing to minimize the number of people in your views. Also, you can pay to ride through the Siq on a golf cart.

The narrow passage and huge rocks makes the canyon very beautiful. Early morning views are amazing. Every turn on the road made me go wowww !!!! And at the end of the road , you will find the most amazing architecture. Take your time and moment to fill it in. Capturing and cherishing this place for a lifetime.

Winding shaded passage, full of exciting surprises: multicolored massive rock formation that play with light & shade leading you finally & gently to a surprising partial vista of the Treasury.....sliwly disclosing parts of it until the whole Treasury is wide open in front of you.... lovely 3-D experience

It's my favorite distention in Petra! the nature and colors of the stones are amazing the cold breeze and the shapes that you view is magical. Highly recommended if you enjoy the nature.

The narrow gorge leading to the Treasury in Petra. Beautiful formation. Try to capture the moment at the end of the walk when you can see just a glimpse of the Treasury. It’s breathtaking.

Such an amazing experience, beautiful place with so much history! You can have a full experience of the desert with the outstanding vibe of the calm night. I highly recommend it. Please do visit whenever you can just be careful from the scammers

The way to the heart of the ancient Petra. Beautiful high and tight canyon, carved out by the water. Amazing rocks with breath-taking colours. Very spectacular and photoable. You can find a new wonder in every meter.👍

Beautiful place close to the great Petra! 16 km of distance separates the two. free entry, total distance covered within the small petra, does not reach 1 km. inside there are several Bedouin huts selling traditional Bedouin tea. a delight! super worth the ride.

Little Petra I feel is worth the time to check it out. It's quiet and not overrun by tourists. My husband and I had a great time waking around. Hiked up to an Amazing view too where we bought pop from a nice gentleman that had a stand. A coke was two Jordan dollars because he has to haul all of this stuff up by hand. Was worth it :). Two women tried to hustle us on the way and out didn't speak English much. We just said no several times and walked away. I highly recommend you go see this!

Really beautiful site that should be visited before going to Petra to be fully enjoyed without being deluded. It takes around 1 hour to visit it calmly and on the spot there are both souvenir shops and free toilets available.

There is no charge to walk this area, they call it “Little Petra”, it is ok but nothing compared to the Treasury or the Monastery, I wouldn’t prioritize a visit here but if you have spare time, it is a decent hike.

Little Petra was recommended to us by a local driver, unlike Petra this one lives up to its name, little, short and sweet but lots to see and very accessible and you do not get baked. The panoramic view at the end is hardly that, though the little climb was nice and we got to rest in Mohammad’s nice rest stop and had lovely tea and played with his two month old dog, Bobby. It was a nice close to our trip, relaxing and beautiful. It’s only 10k by car from Petra. Not easily accessible, you need a driver to take you there and back.

This “little Petra “ is not too far from the real Petra. Worth a quick look but better go there before visiting the real Petra. It may not impress you as much after the trip to Petra.

I really enjoyed my hike through Little Petra. It's free, you don't need a ticket. Much less people go there, you have peace and quiet compared to big Petra. Also you can enter the caves which I liked. I followed the canyon up to the tea house but you can go much further. If the hustle in big Petra gets on your nerves you should come to Little Petra. The path in the canyon is not exposed or dangerous there are some slippery stairs where you might need your hands for support, but it's doable.

‘Little Petra’ is well worth a visit. It’s fascinating and beautiful. Worth visiting before Petra itself. Easy to access for everyone but with about 50 tricky steps at the end (although that section is not essential). Feeling brave? Walk the secret path that connects to Petra from here. It’s long and not for everyone but can be done if interested.

#1 tourist attraction area in Petra, Jordan. The atmosphere is just phenomenal. The local guides are kids with amazing spirits and can speak 3 different languages including English and were very passionate about what they were doing. They helped us in clicking some wonderful and memorable pictures which i have attached. Please find the pictures attached for looking at the wonderful place. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

If you are visiting Petra, then this place should also be in your list other than the Treasury. Inside those caves you can see beautiful rock colors. Different shades of pink. That's why it was also called as Rose City.

Royal Tombs are huge structures carved out in sequence out of the big red rock faces. Palace Tomb Corinthian Tomb Silk Tomb Royal Tombs Carved from a cliff face. Urn Tomb Cliffside burial chamber & courtyard.

Sturdy shoes, lots of water. Unbelievable insight into an advanced ancient civilisation. Loved being away from the crowds, soaking in the atmosphere and views. The Nabatean Women’s Collective have their shops here, they have fair prices and decent quality. Warning - the caves stink of the poor donkeys that live in them. The colours, size and beauty will surely rock your world.

Highly recommend visiting the royal tomb as the echo and the colour of the marble are stunning here. There’s a man inside that owns a shop and he is very friendly and sells spices and perfumes. He’s also knowledgable about the history of the place so I highly recommend you speaking to him as you’ll learn a great deal plus the view from here is stunning for photos

The biggest takeaway from this long series of tombs is the amazing colors you'll see inside (and sometimes outside) in the rock of the mountain they are built into. In a few places (like the Urn tomb), they look psychedelic and even other-worldly. The tombs themselves are grand and their facades are beautiful. Some of the them are probably the most intricate & ornate in whole of Petra. Be ready to climb & walk a lot if you want to enjoy the whole series of tombs.

Great attraction, worth to climb few steps and see the view on the whole area bot only royal tombs.

We had dinner at this restaurant. The owner speaks fluently English and German. We took two plates that were very good. We got complementary salads as starters and complementary tea and sweet. The owner was very nice. The waiters always caring and polite (special thanks to Abdul). Price was super honest: all what you see in the pictures and a big bottle of water was only 11JOD

Don’t even think about eating anywhere else. Just eat here It’s absolutely wonderful. One of the best places I ate in all my Jordan trip. Great food. Welcoming staff that make you feel like you’re a guest in their home, more than a customer.

My wife and I dropped by here for some grub, and we were really happy with it! It was our first proper meal in Jordan, and it hit the spot just right. Can't remember the name of the super friendly guy who served us – he was from Egypt – but he was a real gentleman. He hooked us up with some extra dishes to try and even packed up more food for us to munch on later! The food itself was delicious, and we were actually thinking of coming back for more, but visiting Petra totally wiped us out.

Great restaurant with lovely food and a wonderful owner. We ordered traditional dishes and got big portions and a complimentary combination of salads/side dishes. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and got enough food. Fresh juices recommended. We had a nice chat with the owner who lived in Europe for a while and speaks German. Slow times due to corona unfortunately, we wish them all the best and many guests to come. Hope to revisit some day!

Many thanks to our host, Abdul, he was very friendly and funny and with a positive vibe. The food was delicious, we ordered 2 main dishes and we received the appetizers on the house, also some sweets at the end. Great food, wonderful people, totally recommend!

Super friendly. Very good food. We received 4 Appetizers for free. And in the end Baklava and a Tea for free. 10/10 would recommend.

MUST VISIT! I must start with the hospitality and customer service of everyone! Began from the moment I pulled up in assisting with parking. I am not even sure if the person helping knew I was coming to the restaurant, but jumped right in the street to help me maneuver! Escorted us into the restaurant with a great seat on the patio. We received complementary starters, as well as tea and dessert! The BEST baklava i have had. It was served warm, which was a first for me but delicious! Must order!! The shawarma was well seasoned and very tasty! Large portion! I was filling up on all the amazing salads, so had extra to bring back to my hotel! Will definitely be back! Thank you!!

The best restaurant I’ve been to in the Petra area. Our host was Abdul. Such a happy and welcoming person. The food was great. Had the chicken and meat mansaf. The meat mansaf was 10/10. The meat was so tender that it was coming apart so easily. He even offered all the appetizers, salads, tea and baklava for free. 10/10 must visit!!

We tried 4 different main courses and 3 appetizers and all were excellent. Be sure to have the lemon mint drink! The roof top dining area is decorated beautifully and our hostess was so friendly. Be aware that there is no alcohol, but seriously, just go somewhere else for a drink after dinner here.

The food was not bad, a little on the pricier side considering the size of the serving. The salad was tiny tasted not very fresh but the mixed grill was nice. A lovely view for sunset and good service but a little touristy. They did bring some complimentary tea and melon at the end of the meal which was lovely.

Nice Place! Nice Staff! Nice Food! With a view to the Petra Visitor Center you can sit on rooftop. Staff is very kind and quick to support you in any way. The Food, especialy the Starters are fantastic.

I stumbled upon this gem in my way to my hotel from Petra. I'm so glad I found this place. The food is delicious (try the Haloumi cheese and the hummus... Very yummy!!). Also tried the Makluba... Also very good... In addition to the great food, you will encounter exceptional service... The staff is super friendly!! I'm definitely coming back as long as I'm in Wadi Musa. Highly recommended!

This place offer tradiotional food and drinks and is one of the best experience we had in Jordan. In general food in Jordan is astonishing and it is because of places like this. Anything you’ll try is worth it. Hummus and Tabboulah are from another planet! Staff is super nice, friendly and can point you in the right direction when selecting food.

This place has an incredible cool vibe, very well decorated. The service is super nice and friendly. The food is delicious! Our favourite dish was the lamb. Everything very well cooked, incredible flavours and big portions.

Beautiful restaurant with great tasting food. I had the first item on the menu, a masseur and it was delicious. Its a lamb on the bone with rice dish and the lamb just falls off the bone. Incredible for such a good price too.

The food is absolutely delicious and was the best I had in Jordan. Great views and the staff are great. When I told them I'm allergic to wheat they brought me gluten free bread! It was tasty and I was relieved to know that they're knowledgeable about it and that I didn't have to worry. The mussaka was just amazing.

Amal and Ahmad welcomed us with a lot of food and great hospitality. Honestly, their food fortifies the restaurant’s name. From a local, this is some delicious local food! Loved the atmosphere, the staff and the setting.

This was a great stop on our trip through Wadi Musa. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was fantastic and the food was really good. I ordered the mixed grill kabob and my husband had the lamb. It was quite a bit of food, so if I came here again, I think we would split an entre. They have an enclosed dining room on the second floor (that was unavailable to us at the time) and the rooftop dining room. The view and the breeze were great. The flies were a bit much and we spent most of our meal shooing them away. I would recommend using some sort of screens or fly traps at the least.

The cave bar in Petra is unique in its genre. It is carved in the sandy stone because it once was a tomb of the local population. The bar now serves fancy drinks in a delicious atmosphere both in the inside and the outside.

Cave Bar is not just a place to have a drink, it's a place where you celebrate after visiting one of the New Seven World Wonders Petra. Khalid, Zeyad and all who I didn't mention, you are amazing. Keep it up guys Try the special Burger. Ask Khalid for it

Forming part of the Petra Guest House, this bar is set in a cave, carved out of the rock by the Nabataean people as a tomb 2,000 years ago. This alone makes it pretty special! Plenty of seating areas inside and outside, with the former being cool and intimate in the evening. Given its proximity to the entrance to the archaeological site, it’s naturally full of tourists (us included) and prices are a little high (but not exceptional so). Also it’s one of only three places in the city serving alcohol. Service can be a little slow at times when it’s busy, plus some of the seating areas are difficult for the serving staff to see. Nevertheless, an excellent place to visit.

This was the worst dining experience we have ever had. We came back from Petra in the afternoon for a drink, we were initially pleased with the service and decided to come back for diner. Reading up the reviews I realized that there was an happy hour that we were not made aware of. Our waiter graciously offered my wife another glass of wine in exchange for a good review on Trip Advisor. Turned out the glass of wine was probably on their happy hour. For dinner, we had basically no service. We had to catch the attention of waiters every single time, from getting their menu to ordering drinks and food. We ordered two beef fillet steak only to received one fillet and flank steak. At that point I already asked for the manager who then apologized for the absolute lack of service and returned my plate to offer me their best beef fillet steak. They obviously rushed the kitchen and my steak was raw inside. Also, I didn’t appreciate that I didn’t receive what was specified on the menu and if I didn’t know the difference between a flank and a fillet, it would have gone unnoticed. The manager tried to make things better by offering us an additional round of drinks and took 20% off our bill but at this point there was coming back. The restaurant was clearly understaffed and shouldn’t have accepted additional patrons that they could not accommodate.

This bar is just fantastic: carved out of a cave, the atmosphere is absolutely magic. After a long day hiking in Petra having a cold beer right after so many kilometers feel just perfect. It's indeed a bit pricey, but that what you could expect from a stylish place in such an iconic historical location.

Incredible atmosphere! This bar is made inside the rock and thanks to its luxury architecture it is a magic place where spending some hours with friends or girlfriend! Price are not high and we tried several cocktails and they were all amazing! I really suggest you to go after dinner because the atmosphere in the night is magic!

t's almost a crime to visit Petra and miss the oldest bar in the world. Occupying a 2000-year-old Nabataean rock tomb,

Just a tourist trap, nothing really special and the service is bad. They say it's an ancient tomb but it looks like machine made. The service was slow and the last drink I ordered they never delivered. It's not very expensive. It's a good place to have a beer if you want to have the experience but don't expect much.

The cafe itself is cool but the food and service was just ok. The server only gave us menu for food and didn’t bother to give us menu for drinks. They don’t even have mint-lemon juice.

The food here was amazing. Good prices considering how much food you get. The service from Mohammad was 5+ stars. We were treated like VIP the entire time. We will be back. He gave us mint tea at the end and several other dishes on the house. Truly a wonderful evening.

Good restaurant on the main street, seats available inside and outside. We agreed on a set menu for 15 jod. The food was great with good portions, and we had a small desert too. Only downside the staff speaks very little English and we had to ask several times for things.

Everything was superb! Attention, service, food and atmosphere! Best hummus in town and maybe in world! The waitress were so kind and respectful. Totally recommended

The food is delicious! The staff is very nice

Clearly the best food we’ve had in Jordan! So fragrant and full of flavor. Excellent hospitality. We were well taken care of. Highly recommend if you are in Wadi Musa. Thank you Zawaya Restaurant!

Visited here a couple of months ago, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Had a camel kebab, hummus, kibbeh, and a rice and meat dish (forget the name!). They are slightly off the main shopping strip so it's a little bit quieter. Highly recommend.

The food here was good (mixed grill with chips and a Jordanian lamb dish). But what really made this 5 stars was the welcome from the owner. Incredibly friendly and hospitable and made us feel very welcome and relaxed. Perfect a long day.

Fantastic local food. The baked chicken tomatoes dish and lamb was so delicious. Best Lentil soup I had along Egypt and Jordan. Highly recommend it. They also have wonderful flavoured tabouli with Couscous in it. A must try

Great service, food and very reasonable prices. Don't seem to get too many customers which is a shame because they're great! Tried the Muqlaba and Galaya and both were excellent

I highly recommend to come here to have dinner. Excellent Jordanian food and perfect Service with Abdul. I recommend the Sawani with chicken and try some local sweets deserts. Well decorated restaurant

Food Quality: the food is quite decent. Hummus really good, but this seems to be a general thing in this area. Portions: they are ok, maybe just on the border of satisfying. I could have definitely used a bit more french fries. Drinks: decent choices Price: $$ not too bad, but for this price could have had a bit bigger portions. Service: friendly guy took our order Atmosphere: very relaxed and not noisy. World cup game was on so most people’s attention was on the TV. Highlights: hummus Things to improve: would be great that the french fries were not frozen, or at least a bit more on the plate

Stopped by for juice, tea and water after a hot day in Petra. Fair price, but nothing out of the ordinary. Quick service which was very welcome.

We were starving on the way back from Petra. Didn't want to pay the overpriced dishes inside the visitors center, that is why we went for a walk around Wadi Musa. Found the Red Cave restaurant and sat there for a quick lunch. The serving were huge and delicious. Reasonably priced. The toilet was clean, the staff were polite. They gave us free humus, however in the end we overpaid for some things which we weren't sure why!?

The chips were fresh and hot but the shawarma was super dry and there was barely any meat pieces in it. It was basically just bread with a hint of meat. That was absolute jokes. But the guy was kind enough to offer free drinks and we were super hungry and tired after our Petra visit so we ate it.

Me & my husband had lunch today (17 July 2022) in Red Cave Restaurant after our visit to Petra Archaeological Park. The owner/manager very nice and friendly, he gave us a warm hospitality. Their hummus just freshly made and served. It was THE BEST Hummus I've ever tried (in Indonesia or while I'm in Jordan). Thank you for your excellent service and impeccable taste for both the dishes (Hummus and Boneless chicken grilled)! LOVE!

Very nice place to chill and eat after a long walk around petra, the food was fantastic and flavoursome. Service by abdul was on form and helpful with the menu/food suggestions, so much so i changed my meal on his advice and enjoyed it thoroughly. There are many different seating areas inside and outside so take your pick on where to sit. Will go back again and definitely recommend this restaurant😊👍
