When I told my friends I visited Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, for under $100, they didn’t believe me. But let me break it down for you—because with smart planning, this ancient city in #jordan is closer (and cheaper!) than you think. #petra
📖 A bit of history:
Petra is an archaeological wonder carved into rose-red cliffs by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago. Walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury appear before your eyes is pure magic.
💸 My $100 Petra Budget Itinerary:
✔️ ✈️ Flights from Europe:
With low-cost airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air, you can book direct flights to Amman for as little as $20. I booked mine via Trip.com, which made the process quick and smooth.
✔️ 🏨 Accommodation in Wadi Musa (Petra’s town):
You’ll find great hostels and hotels from $10/night on Trip.com. Most offer free tea, Wi-Fi, and even shuttle service to Petra’s entrance.
✔️ 🎟 Petra entry fee:
The cost for a 1-day pass is around 50 JD ($70). It’s the priciest part, but trust me—it’s worth every cent.
✔️ 🍽 Food:
Skip the fancy restaurants and eat like a local. Falafel wraps or a plate of hummus with bread cost $3–5 at family-run cafés.
✔️ 🐪 Optional extras:
Want to ride a camel in front of the Treasury for the perfect photo? It’s negotiable but budget around $10 if you want the experience.
🌟 Why it’s worth it:
Petra isn’t just a place—it’s a journey into history. Exploring on a budget makes you feel like a true adventurer, not just a tourist.
