    This, as the first one have lots of souvenirs, silver, bone and coral jewelry ... but it have also some tables to rest a little, ok, I know that is just a the begining, but perhaps you want to have a coffe before going on. We stoped here to buy some water, and they invited us to tea. Very friendly people, as the one we find all over Petra

    yes, the same ... I think that is not the best place to put a shop, when you get up here you only want to live ... to brief, to rest a little, to be someone, and you know you have to go on ? you the last thing that comes to your head is to buy something.

    The same merchandise, this time sell by a little girl, under the eye of her grandmother and brother. She really tried to sell us something. Well is just another place to buy something, just bargain, now you know the prices, so, try to get a good one. Of course the prices with bargain or without it are great.
    This girl, we where told after, is the sister of the woman with more beautiful eyes in all Petra. I can really belief it cause this little girl really had gorgeous eyes.
    When we where going she only told us ?do not buy to the man of the next shop? hahahahaha

    At the very top, when you search the Viewpoint after Monastery you will find the Viewpoint Shop. Like all the others they are moving shops. This man was going to Egypt in few days. He come here with his donkey, as the others, that wait for him under a little shadow.
    Like others, this man was very hospitality, and he had also good silver things. We spend with him a long time in that incredible beautiful place.

    In a big cave there is the most fantastic place, a very fresh place to rest after a long hot walk ... this is the best place to put a shop with drinks. When you get here you don't want to go ... just rest there at the carpets and drink something to calm the thirst, also with VISA and lots of tables and things to buy

    If you're looking for some fruit in Petra/Wadi Mousa you won't find any in the village street.

    All the fruit shops have been moved to a main market, which is just below the new bus station.

    It's quite good fun looking round the market.

    Littel sellers with big smiles
    by Tayra2
    Once you are inside, the beduins whos living near Petra will try to sell neckles made of some kind of shells and stouns, children will try to sell peaces of coloured Petra rocks or small coloured stones. Well, with adults be careful they will try to sell one neckles for the price of 3 or 4, accept the game and bargain. I must admit, neckles are nice and interesting and once you are back home you will have neckles and nice memories.
    With children you can have lot of fun. They will try to sell about 5 small stones for 1JD and if you still refuse to buy they will give you as a gift, plus they will tell you on such childrens inocent way: I love you and please take it as a gift. If you still donīt want to give them 1 JD they wont bother you any more.
    The kids I have met there are one of my good memories. itīs just amazing how little they have and what a big smiles they can give you.

    Nabateans are found throughout the valley selling various items - mostly jewelry. You will find better prices and a more interesting experience if you look over the goods sold by those along the lengthy climbs to places such as the Monastery and High Place of Sacrifice. You will find jewelry, handmade dolls, coins, rocks, etc...

    My favorite buys:
    1. A couple of ancient Roman coins - be careful to find authentic pieces. They are found following any decent rainfall.
    2. A doll that was handmade by a woman named Mariam. The doll was dressed just like her.

    What you think it is worth - it is a great way to keep your memories of Petra close at hand. You should haggle as it is expected and thereofre the starting price is higher than what will be accepted. They are good at it so have fun and be polite.
