Al Kubtha Trail

This trail starts from the Visitor Center and takes you into the ancient city of Petra through the Siq and past some magnificent monuments. This includes what is known as the ‘street of facades’, as well as a theater craved out of the rock, after which you will explore the intricately carved ‘royal tombs’, which include the Urn Tomb, Silk Tomb, Corinthian Tomb and Palace Tomb, before reaching Al-Khubtha High Place and Cistern to enjoy the breathtaking view.

Follow the main trail up to the theatre, after which you turn right when you reach the restrooms beyond the theatre and follow the staircase up to the Urn Tomb. After reaching the viewpoint you can climb back down and rejoin the main trail at the Nymphaeum.
