If you have two days for Petra, you should definitely explore Petra the other day, so hike from Klein-Petra towards Petra. The prospects are unexpectedly beautiful. You should have gotten the ticket for Petra in advance. On the second day you can explore Petra even more closely.

Ticket for Petra includes free bus shuttle from Visitor Center to Little Petra. Visit the gorge there and then continue for 5 JOD / P to the starting point of a unique trail via the monastery through the entire park to the visitor center, all highlights along the way. In the end it was around 14.5 km on an easily walkable hiking trail, up and down. Highly recommended, but good shoes should be on board!

Beautiful view. Taking binoculars makes sense and it is windy.
