Jebel Khubtha & the Back Trail

Jebel Khubtha: the mountain between Petra and the Monastery back door.

Jebel Khubtha is the mountain that separates Petra's centre from the Monastery back trail — the route used by Bedouin for generations, dropping into the Monastery from above via the Baida road.

The traverse needs a guide and good fitness. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan can arrange the Baida drop-off, and full package tours to Jordan offer the guided version.
