Petra Things to Do Tips by Prinsalsita

Once in Petra get a site map of Petra and look for JEBEL AL DEIR -- the Monastery ( it is almost at the other end of the path marked as #17, it is a long walk from the entrance.) and once you have arrived to the MonasteryTemple get ready to climb it. the Monastery (EL DEIR) measures about 40 meters by 50 meters just imagine I am about 1.65 meters so it is about 38 times taller than me.

Remember to get a before and after picture :)
because it is an incredible experience to go up the highest, largest and furthest temple.

Una vez que llegas a Petra pide un mapa de Petra y busca por JEBEL AL DEIR - el monasterio ( es mas o menos al final de la ruta y esta marcada como #17, es una caminata largisima) y una vez que llegas al Templo del Monasterio alistate para subirlo. El Monasterio mide 40m x50 m. Recuerda de tomar una foto antes y despues porque sera una experiencia increible. Pues es el mas alto, largo y el templo mas lejano

Take confortable climbing shoes, a remote control camera, tripode or pay a local climber (usually the donkey renters) to climb it with you so he can take a picture.
The Monastery -The Deir monument is 40.2 meters wide and is carved deep into the side of the mountain. It is super High, I do not know how hight but the door itself is 8 meters high. Compare the picture on my previous tip with the picture here. I am standing in the tip top of the monastery.

Just remember IT IS DOABLE
