    • These tombs are very difficult to reach and no many tourists go there because they are nothing of specials. But if you have time you can go there and do nice walk ;)

    • If you have time (about 3 hours) I suggest to you to visit Al-Beid, also call Little Petra. On the road towards the city, there is a wonderful panorama on Petra. You can see all the Wado Mousa, The Bizantyne Church, the Great Temple and also some tombs. From here you can see all the maestosity of this fantastic town hidden inside the mountain.

    • On the Gebel Harun (1396 metres) there is a small Muslim Sanctuary that it was build over a tomb. Archeologists think that this is the Tomb of Haron, brother of Moses. It's very difficult to see and you can see it onlu with a good zoom.

    • After 15 minutes by car you arrive to Little Petra. The first thing that you see is a Siq long 400 metres. Just few metres before the entrance there is this nice small temple caved with the typical Nabataean style.

    • Little Petra is different from Petra. It's buld along a Siq long 400 metres. Along its you can find a temple and also a lot of houses. It's very difficult that you find many people there, beduins are very friendly and the place is fantastic!!!!

    • Following to walk along the siq there are three big hole in the rock. They probably are dining room but also bedrooms as you can see from the signs over the wall. Inside these big rooms there is also a well where Nabatean collected water. Inside of them, over the roof there are some paints.
