Walking Tours Wadi Musa

From the Monastery to the Treasury via the Back Door


Skip the crowds and dive into the heart of Petra through its most adventurous and scenic entrance—the back door trail. This full-day guided tour begins at Little Petra and winds through beautiful desert landscapes and rugged mountain paths, bringing you to the breathtaking Monastery (Ad Deir), one of Petra’s most majestic and less-visited monuments.


After taking in the scale and serenity of the Monastery, descend into Petra’s ancient city center via the original Nabataean steps. Explore the impressive remnants of Roman influence as you stroll down the colonnaded street, then visit the intricately carved Byzantine church, with its remarkable mosaic floor.


The trail continues past the Royal Tombs, where weathered facades carved into the rose-red cliffs hint at the grandeur of Nabataean royalty. Visit the Roman Theater, cut directly into the rock and capable of seating thousands.


Finally, your journey culminates at Petra’s crown jewel: the Treasury (Al-Khazneh). Arriving at the iconic façade from above offers a perspective few get to witness—an unforgettable end to an epic adventure through one of the world’s greatest archaeological wonders.
