Frequently Asked Questions

How many days do you need to see Petra?

The number of days needed to fully experience Petra can vary based on your interests and pace of exploration. Generally, visitors can explore the main highlights of Petra, including the Treasury, the Monastery, and the various tombs and temples carved into the rock in one visit, either on a 1 day tour from Eilat, or as part of a longer tour visiting other parts of Jordan as well. However, for a more in-depth exploration or if you wish to hike some of the surrounding trails, you might want to allocate 2-3 days or more. Ultimately, it depends on how thoroughly you want to immerse yourself in this ancient city's fascinating history and stunning architecture.

Is the Monastery in Petra worth it?

The Monastery, also known as Ad Deir, is definitely worth the visit. This monumental structure, similar in design to the iconic Treasury but larger in scale, is carved entirely out of the rock face and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. However, reaching the Monastery requires a challenging uphill hike from the main site of Petra, to see the beauty and grandeur of this ancient monument . Each step of the climb unveils more the ancient city's secrets. Whether you're an avid history buff or simply in search of stunning vistas, the Monastery is a worthwhile stop if you have the time, that promises a memorable experience.

What clothes to wear in Petra?

When visiting Petra, it's essential to wear comfortable and modest clothing suitable for both exploring ancient ruins and enduring the desert climate. Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen to stay cool during the day, wearing shorts or lightweight pants, t-shirts, or short-sleeve collared shirts. Since Petra's terrain involves walking on dusty trails and climbing stairs, sturdy, closed-toe shoes like sneakers or hiking boots are recommended to ensure comfort and safety. Additionally, consider wearing clothing that covers your shoulders and knees out of respect for local customs and to protect against the sun.
