Al Khubtha Trail

Al Khubtha Trail (4hrs-5hrs)

Degree of difficulty: Difficult

From the Visitor Center, this trail takes you into the ancient city of Petra through the Siq past several magnificent monuments. They include what is known as the "Street of Facades" and a theater carved out of the rock, after which you will explore the intricately carved "royal tombs", which include the Urn Tomb, the Silk Tomb, the Corinthian Tom and the Palace Tomb, before reaching Al Khubtha High Place and Cistern to enjoy the breathtaking view. Follow the main trail up to the theater. Turn right when you reach the restrooms beyond and follow the staircase up to the Urn Tomb.
