The Petra Back Trail is a beautiful and less-crowded way to reach the famous Monastery. The hike starts near Little Petra, a smaller yet fascinating site with carved buildings and narrow paths. From there, the trail takes you through rocky landscapes, peaceful valleys, and stunning desert views.

It’s a great choice for those who enjoy walking in nature and want to avoid the busy main entrance. Along the way, you’ll see parts of Petra that many visitors miss. The trail ends at the Monastery, one of Petra’s most impressive and less-visited monuments.
