The Monastery, other than the Treasury, is another AMAZING wonder in Jordan!
Visiting the Monastery in Jordan is like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a lost world! Though it looks like the Treasury, it still offers unique view!
It's a trek worth every step. As you hike up the rocky trail, with every twist and turn, anticipation builds. Then, suddenly, you're greeted by a colossal façade carved into the cliff, dwarfing everything around it. The Monastery, with its intricate details and towering presence, leaves you in awe. Take a breather, catch your breath, and soak in the breathtaking views from the plateau. Explore the chambers, marvel at the ancient tombs, and let the sense of wonder wash over you. The Monastery is an unforgettable testament to the grandeur of the past.

The Stunning Backdoor Hike in Petra
The Little Petra to Petra hike is a great way to experience Petra without the crowds. The route will take you to the Monastery, which is equally as spectacular but far less visited than the Treasury. The hike starts at the backdoor of Petra, which can be reached by taking a jeep shuttle from Little Petra. The shuttle costs 5 Jordanian dinars per person and takes you as close as you can get to the steps for the back trail up to The Monastery.
The trail is about 8 kilometers long and takes 1.5-2 hours to complete. The path is in good condition all the way and the first half is flat. The exposed trail and heat in the summer months can make this track pretty tiring. Not only is this a perfect winter getaway but also an area away from tourists and the souvenir stands and you also get to see some pretty wild landscape that you wouldn't otherwise get to experience.
