Changes

As Wadi Musa (Petra village) is a tourist city created for tourism, you will find that local people (mostly bedouins) will try to make you pay for the ride. They know how to make the people pay for everything so take care, because they will try to convince you that it's impossible to hitchhike out from Wadi Musa (and it's not)

It is possible to enter Petra easily for free (although not advised because it's prohibited). Hitch to the first village called Umm Sayhoun in the direction towards Little Petra. Walk south-west from there and down into the valley and you will enter Petra.
