Al-Beidha
We will take the traveler into a tour inside the Little Petra, also known as Siq al-Barid,which literally means a cold canyon. this place has wonderful mountainous landscape. We arrived at Little Petra Siq after traveling a well-traveled path. This Siq is far shorter than the one in Petra that goes to the Treasury, but we anticipated that. The Siq is quite small but occasionally widens into locations that typically include temples cut into the rock. the traveler can see an old temples, the painted houses. Our tours continue to The Neolithic Village of Beidha. the site which holds one of the oldest settlements in Jordan. During the Neolithic period, hunters and gatherers lived seasonally in this fertile and sheltered area.

Monastery (Al Dayr)
Our tour guides will move on with the travelers until reach The Monastery, is one of the fabled Petra monuments, buried in the hills. It was constructed as a Nabataean tomb in the third century BCE and has a similar design to the Treasury but is much larger (50m wide and 45m high). The crosses carved into the inside walls, which imply that it was once a church used by the Byzantines, are where it gets its name. Starting at the Basin Restaurant, an ancient rock-cut path with more than 800 steps follows the previous procession route. Our travelers will enjoy at this place because they will have a unique experience to discover the huge building of ALDER.
