In recent decades, many inhabitants left in search of work in the cities, but thanks to the support of the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN), local tribes have returned. They are rebuilding the village with its characteristic limestone houses and earning their livelihoods through local products such as goat cheese.

You then continue to the rarely visited but impressively located Crusader castle of Shobak, once called Crac de Montréal by the Crusaders and known as a royal stronghold. After exploring the fortress and its views of the wild surrounding landscape, you make a short detour to Little Petra, the former main caravan station in the Nabataean kingdom, before heading on to Petra.

An experienced guide accompanies you and leads you to some of the city’s highlights. The route takes you past the first tomb façades, through the narrow sandstone canyon known as the Siq, and onward to the famous Treasury, El Khazneh. Along the way you see grand tombs, rock-cut theaters, royal tombs and the remains of the old city center, where impressive ruins still testify to Petra’s former splendor.
