«Advice» In Petra there are many shops (souvenirs, food and drinks) and some restaurants, but logically the prices are higher inside Petra than outside. Before entering to the area of Petra we got some things in a supermarket of Wadi Musa. (sandwiches, water, peanuts, candies…)

(not shown in the Google maps route and difficult to find as it is not well signed)

When you are in front of the Tombs, check this sign and go to the Al-Khubtha Trail. Then you will find some stairs

After the stairs try to ask some locals or people on the way, you have to continue walking atright between hills to get here.

«Advice» Don´t come here late in the afternoon as the night may come and it will be hard to make all the way back without light.

The track is worth it and here is The Treasury from the top!

Some locals and items.

And…if you come back here late in teh afternoon…

You will have all The Treasury all for you!
