Group travel

Petra is an Amazing site but it's better to go when there are not a lot of tourist. The site is really Big so it take at leadt one day to visite it. You can also go at the end of the day After 3 or 5 pm to visit it. Groups of tourist are gone so you can easily walk by

Solo travel

I stayed at my Petra Hostel home and the owner was very friendly and helpful. I went in March and Wadi Rum was cold, but it was beautiful, it is still my favorite part of the trip.
