What is unique about this tour is that you get to experience Petra from a different point of view, as you will be entering the ancient city via a different trail rather than using the main trail " Al Siq", and you have the ability to explore " Al Siq" on your way back, this will grant you chance to explore almost 80% of Archeological park in one day.
