(Petra 3 hours guided tour ) I would highly recommend we start the tour early morning to avoid crowdedness, hot weather in summer and taking an enough time to explore the city. We start by walking on the main trail (Distance: 4km ) , the trail starts from the visitor center of Petra through The siq to The Treasury , climbing up a mountain to see the theater from the top like Birds eye view , then will see The royal tombs, The colonnaded street, and finally The Dushara Palace (Qasr Al Bint) , The expected time to finish this trail is usually 3 hours , but time may varies on how fast you may walk but minimum of 2.5 hours . Climbing up to the Monastery isn't included , but may be discussed by the end of the tour .
