Hotels in Petra
If you’re staying at one of the luxury resort hotels near Petra, you can plan for a relaxing, exotic desert holiday amid marvelous surroundings, enjoying local foods, entertainment, and the opportunity to browse shops filled with tribal crafts. For those on a budget, the many less-expensive hotels at Wadi Musa, 5km (3 miles) from the entrance to Petra, are reasonably comfortable and offer the chance to meet interesting fellow travelers. A hard day of exploring Petra will work up your appetite. In the evenings, many budget hotels offer very reasonably priced buffet dinners. In fact, travelers buffet-hop and look for the most interesting and freshest deals being offered each night
Note: As at Israeli accommodations, hotel rates are often quoted in dollars, and bargain rates (often steeply discounted) abound.
