Second time visit to Petra and only one of us made the climb last time. go early before its too hot and carry some water. wear walking shoes!

This is one of the least climbed hikes in Petra, but is worth the workout. Keep in mind that there are no railings or the steps are steep and filled with sand. Watch your footing and take it slow. Takes about 1-1.5 hours (up and down combined).

We made the steep climb with trepidation but were amply rewarded with the stupendous views from the top. It is a fantastic vantage point for a 360 degree view of the entire city and in my book would rate as high as the first look of the Treasury. Do it when you visit Petra.
