Petra '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is an ancient archeological cityin [[Jordan]], and some say the 8th wonder of the world. Wadi Musa is a city adjacent to Petra. There are a lot of hotels in the area and a few that have dormitory style accommodation which is the cheapest, other than camping.

== Hitchhiking out ==
Be aware Friday is the muslim day off. There are not so much people driving on Fridays, and around 12.00 the city is empty, so it might be quite difficult to hitchhike. But being a tourist town there will still be some cars and small lorries, especially tourists in rental cars.
=== North towards [[Amman]] [[Aqaba]] [[Wadi Rum]] ===
From inside Wadi Musa you can try to hitchhike to the exit of the town, a roundabout in the northeast. From there you have to hitchhike to the Desert Highway; the main road of the country. From the Desert Highway is super easy to hitchhike to the north, the south, etc. It's better to use the Desert Highway than the King Highway because there is more traffic and it's easier.
It is possible to enter Petra easily for free (although not advised because entry without a ticket is 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.
