Explore the Siq & the Treasury (Al‑Khazneh): Walk through the narrow Siq canyon and reach the iconic Treasury facade.
-
Hiking routes beyond the main trail: Many visitors stop at the main “Treasury” viewpoint, but there are longer trails that go past that—to the Royal Tombs, Qasr al‑Bint and more.
-
Multi‑day stay / early or late exploration: As one traveler put it, “we camped … and walked in to Petra before the mass of tourists arrived.”
-
Combine with nearby desert experiences: Many tours link Petra with the nearby Wadi Rum desert (and other nature reserves) for off‑road 4×4, hiking, or camping under the stars.
