Destinations: Little Petra

Little Petra

Just a short drive from the main gates of Petra, Little Petra (also known as Siq Al-Barid) offers a quieter, more intimate look into Nabataean life and it’s just as enchanting in its own way.

Carved into pale sandstone cliffs, Siq al-Barid served as a caravan stop and residential area for traders along the ancient Spice Route. As you walk through its narrow canyon, you’ll discover carved tombs, stone staircases, and even the remains of Nabataean dining halls, complete with benches and frescoes that hint at a vibrant social past.

Unlike Petra’s grandeur, Little Petra feels more untouched, making it the perfect place for peaceful exploration and reflection. You won’t find crowds here just raw history, desert stillness, and incredible photo opportunities.

Whether as a warm up to your Petra visit or a final hidden gem to end your journey, Little Petra is an essential stop for travelers looking to dive deeper into Jordan’s ancient past.

Fun fact: it’s home to one of the only known Nabataean frescoes, a rare painting of vines and cherubs that offers a glimpse into their artistic side beyond stone carving!
