Notes: I paid in full for Abdullah's tour and this is not a collaboration. I sincerely recommend him as a Petra guide, he is fantastic and you can contact him here: [phone] .
The local currency is the JOD and you'll need around 20-30 JODs if you'd like to buy drinks in Petra during the day as well as access the transport to the backdoor hike. The entrance into Petra itself is included in your Jordan Pass which I strongly recommend getting online before your arrival into the country.
I visited in mid September and got to Petra at around midday, my tour lasted just over 5 hours (I chose not to stop for lunch) and we walked 11km!
I was worried about dressing conservatively and respecting local custom but Petra is full of foreigners and I found no one blinks an eye if your shoulders/ knees aren't fully covered.

Very fun and informative video visit to Petra. Thank you for showing me a a crowdless way to see the site. I have not yet been able to go, but seeing your video will suffice for now. I very much enjoy your style of presentation.

[@Kristinahouwer]

Thank you !! What an encouraging comment , means the world 😍 new videos coming very soon!

[@davidd780]

A very nice place to go.. Highly recommend to ask the visitor center about official tour guide.. There's many they are not allowed to be guide there.. So my advice ask always the visitor center an official guide.. 🙏🌹

[@Kristinahouwer]

Great tip ! Thanks for watching 😍

[@scottman895]

What a beautiful sight! I think it was great that you got to go a different way to Petra with a local Bedouin. It was a great way to not only get views the tourists normally don't see but also a way to support the locals. What an amazing video! This is one of my favorite videos of yours yet!

[@Kristinahouwer]

Thank you very much ! It’s a favourite of mine too and I’m editing the next one now , stay tuned !

[@ZGundam83]

I was just there in late February. I walked the 900 step path up to the Monastery and back down.

[@Kristinahouwer]

Wow go you !! That’s amazing and so glad to hear you went there as well. It’s a spectacular place that I now recommend to anyone traveling to the area

[@subhojitmisra]

Nice presentation. And I have a query as well. So is this the backdoor entrace route you took? I mean, you have to take a cab from Petra visitor centre to little petra and from there around 1.5 hrs of trek to the monastery?

[@Kristinahouwer]

Hi thanks for watching ! The tour guide provided us with a short taxi ride to get to the right place. From there it took us about an hour to walk to the monastery I’d say , but the difference is that it’s all mostly straight - no 900 steps uphill like in the way most tourists take and it’s not crowded at all, maybe saw 2 other people during the entire trek to the monastery

[@subhojitmisra]

@@Kristinahouwer Yea looks like backdoor entrance, did you visit the little petra as well?

[@krishnakishoreramadugu3754]

Amazing! Can we know what costs to avail his service, thanks

[@Kristinahouwer]

I paid just over 200 euro for the private tour with lunch included

[@krishnakishoreramadugu3754]

Thank you for information @kristina , keep rocking!

[@zubairshaikh2549]

Thanks Kristina. We also have just 1day at Petra. You said you started from monastery and went up to Treasury. Where did u park you car ? Ca you park at Visitor center and guide can drive you to monastery ?

[@Kristinahouwer]

Hi, thanks for watching ! We parked our car right next to the Petra Moon hotel and from there the guide took us to the back entrance. You then need to take a local car with a ticket to the hike starting point

[@GabrielRosas1985]

@kristinahouwer what time did you start the hike and what time did you end/walk out of the front entrance?

[@Kristinahouwer]

We started just before midday and ended just after 5pm. No lunch break, just stopped at a cafe for drinks once

[@GabrielRosas1985]

@@Kristinahouwer so around 5.5 hours then?

[@Kristinahouwer]

@@GabrielRosas1985yep thats the time it took for me but I didn’t see everything so it’s fully customisable depending on how much time u have
