Off The Beaten Path: Beida
  • Tip Rating:
  • Beida is Petra's little sister, and it's about 30 minutes drive from it. Beida is a miniature Petra... it's another Nabatean city carved into bare sandstone along a narrow canyon. It's less imposing than Petra, but also less crowded, which makes it worthwhile to see. However it only makes sense to visit it before Petra, not after, to have a taste of what you'll enjoy the following day. One sad note about charming little Beida: several beduin families living there have been turned into beggars by inconsiderate tourists.
