Wadi Musa: Gateway to Petra

Wadi Musa town: hotels, restaurants and the practical heart of any Petra visit.

Wadi Musa is the town that serves Petra — a hillside of hotels, restaurants, banks and shops strung along the ridge above the site. It is where almost every Petra visit begins and ends.

Moses' Spring in the town centre gives it its name. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan stay here between site days, and full package tours to Jordan book its hotels for the overnight.
