Hiking the Petra Backdoor trail | Best way to spend a day in Petra Jordan

Welcome to day 4, we're going to be visiting Petra today, well actually, we're going to be visiting Petra today. Actually, because yesterday someone said we're visiting Petra, and then he just said Petra. Yeah, the city is also called Petra by the way. Right, so just checked out, so we're just going to take the free shuttle to the little Petra first. 55, if you're doing this as a two-day thing, and we paid like 75 Jordan Dinar for the whole visa and everything, so. It's very worth getting the pass. Yeah, definitely get the Jordan pass. So we reached little Petra. Little Petra is like a suburb, it's like Dandenong in Melbourne. Two options from here to get to the monastery. Firstly, you can walk to the monastery, and it's going to take over two hours. Or you can take one of these shuttle buses that'll take only five dinars, and it's going to drop you right at the base, and you just have to walk up. Two kilometers to the monastery, which is what we went for. I overheard someone saying they're just going to walk, and I was thinking, that's a bit crazy for five dinars, but I guess it's up to you. We're just gonna start our walk to the monastery. Monastery. So we just walked for about 45 minutes, and look what's in front of us. Way over there. I'm gonna walk up a bit to a few points here. I think we have to pay for them, but we'll find out. Hopefully it's not too bad. Don't miss it. How many best views can you have? There's one there, there's one here, and there's one up there. This feels extremely precarious. So all right, time to say goodbye to the monastery. Looks like all these shops are closed. If you're walking from the treasury to the monastery, you'd have to climb up these 800 steps, but because we're doing it everywhere, we get to go down. Aren't you glad we are walking down the stairs, not up them? Just walked all the way from up there. Toilet review? It's clean, but not all the paper. So we are here at the Royal Tombs, which is a lineup of tombs constructed straight into the rock face. You can see behind me. Don't know what this vehicle is doing here. So this is the Nabatean theatre, probably where they used to have all the performances in the city. Wait, come back. Where are you going? Are you ready for this? It's okay, we'll do this tomorrow. This is like the slow reveal. So now we're walking through the Sikh, which is this long tall canyon on both sides, as we head back to the visitor center. This bit is so nice to walk through. It's like sheltered from the sun and the wind, and it's also like paved. This way, the normal way, is a grand entrance, so the kings used to come. The back way is where the tradies used to come from. So we are the tradies. It's just the water channels on the side. You can see it's cut into the rock on both sides. And that's the end of the canyon. Back in the heat, but only got one kilometer or so to go. I'm glad we did this this way. Otherwise, right now, we'll be climbing up those stairs to the monastery, and I'll be hating it. This is the view from the horses. Okay, we've done it. We walked all the way from the back entrance to the visitor center. 12 kilometers. Took us about three hours of walking without stopping, but of course we stopped. Some ice cream to finish off this walk. Yeah, we're rich.
