Worth knowing about Petra
- Petra has no airport and no railway: every visitor arrives by road at Wadi Musa, the town 3.5 km away that holds the Petra Visitors Center.
- Wadi Musa is about 250 km from Amman and about 100 km north of Aqaba, so either approach is a long road journey.
- Petra itself is an archaeological site in the Ma'an Governorate of southern Jordan; the accommodation, restaurants and visitor infrastructure are all in Wadi Musa rather than at the site.
