    Know Before You Go

    • Early departure is fixed — dictated by the ferry schedule. Missing pickup forfeits the booking.
    • Walking: Minimum 4 km including the Siq (1.2 km each way). Sturdy closed-toe shoes required; sandals are inadvisable.
    • Sun and heat protection: Hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses regardless of season. The central valley of Petra offers limited shade.
    • Jordanian Dinar recommended: For drinks at lunch, optional in-site activities, and personal purchases. Currency exchange is available in Aqaba.
    • Travel time is substantial: The majority of the 14–16 hours is in transit. Guests uncomfortable with extended overnight coach travel should weigh this carefully.
    • Best seasons: Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable walking temperatures. Winter is uncrowded but cold; summer is manageable but hot midday.
