Petra Moon: Cheap accomdation close to the entrance!

Initially I didn’t plan to stay here but didn’t get much choice when I realized the other hotel didn’t accept my credit card and I was not able to withdraw any cash from the bank machine with my regular card (ouch!).

At the end, it was not such a bad deal, the price of the room was 18JD, down to 15JD because I was staying 3 nights.
For that price, no extra comfort than what is strictly needed. The bed is quite hard and the shower quite basic! However it was clean and by contrast to the outside pretty well decorated inside.

The breakfast is included as well but nothing fancy, not really high gastronomy here. The good point is that if you have to skip it, no big deal, you don’t miss too much!!

Unique Quality: The staff was really friendly as well. They can prepare a lunch box if you ask for it (3JD) and apparently trips to Wadi Rum can be organized from the reception…

A huge advantage: it is located only 200meters from the Visitor’s Center!!

Valentine Inn

The hotel was introduced by the driver who took me from Amman through the King's highways to Petra. A dorm costs JD2 and a room JD5 with shared toilet.

It is about 5 min uphill from the roundabout of Wadi Musa village. It is ok with close proximity to the village.

The room condition is generally ok and the toilet may need improvement. It has free transfer service from hotel to Petra entrance 7am and 8am with return at 4pm and 5 pm. In addition, it is situated above town area which has excellent view of Wadi Musa village and Petra in a distance. Good view of sunset, I must say.

In addition, the hotel serves bullet style meal at 7pm with more than 20 something dishes in Mediterranian style. JD2 (Veg) or JD3 (with Chicken). In my opinion, it is very worth.

The minibus to Aqaba, and Wadi Rum will go all the way up to the hotel. These buses usually leave at 6am for JD2-3 each way.

Petra Camping!: Camping Out.....................

I didnt actually do this although I would have loved to.

Some American and Danish friends of mine, stayed in Petra after dark and actually set up camp and stayed the night within Petra itself.

It is not allowed, but they got away with it & what a wonderful memory they are left with, Lucky Them!

Sunset Hotel: Sunset Hotel

Our stay in the Sunset Hotel was fine, I cant really remember much about it, so it must have been ok. We went out for dinner with a couple of German men we met at the hotel, it was a sociable place.

With getting up at 5.30 in the morning to be at petra for opening at 6am, we really didnt spend much time there

Various: No choice

There is no accommodation available in Petra itself. The local town of Wadi Musa provides a wide option according to tastes and budgets.

Hotels in Wadi Musa

The nearest town to Petra is Wadi Musa. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants for any budget (bargain the price). It takes half an hour to walk from Wadi Musa to Petra entrance gate (ticket office) or you can take a taxi.

Guesthouses in Wadi Musa

There are a lot of cheap hotels and Guesthouses in and around Wadi Musa, the village next to the entrance to Petra.
Almost all of them, I guess, offer some specials, like free transportation down to the entrance or Indiana Jones movies at the evening.
