Are there any excursions I shouldn't miss while visiting petra?

You mean Petra in Jordan? If so, why you post on the Israeli forum?

How long you will stay?

Thread moved to the Jordan forum!

Thanks primadonna

My parents enjoyed "little Petra", but I haven't seen it myself. It is a smaller version of the Siq, complete with smaller carved tombs and without the crowds. See it in addition to the real thing, it is very close by (a taxi driver would know where). We liked taking the donkeys up to the monastery and then walking down again. If you aren't experienced riders, going down the hill can be quite scary on a donkey (It can be scary going up for some people.).

The office you claim you have booked at should be able to tell you!
