How can I get to Petra in one day?

If you are a one-day visitors we advise you to visit Petra crossing the Siq, Treasury, the royal tombs, the Street of Facades and even girl palace. You can visit the altar or the monastery and to reach one of those sites you should start early in the morning to save time for visiting one or both.

Is Petra a day trip?

Petra is often visited as a day trip from the cities of Amman or Aqaba, however we recommend staying in the town of Wadi Musa (the town where the main Petra entrance gate is located) to make the most of your one day in Petra.

How much time do you need in Petra?

How Long Should I Spend There? If your itinerary can swing it, I recommend spending two days in Petra, though if you have time you can definitely spend more there—the park is massive! The price for a two-day Petra ticket is 55 Jordanian dinar (JOD), vs. 50 JOD for one day (both with overnight stay).
