Visiting Jordan early November 2025. Have done a fair bit of research and looking forward to it very much. Am a bit concerned
about the accessibility of the most important/dramatic sights in Petra. Lots of mention of 800+ steps and scary sounding
route to the Monastery and various other sites. Do most visitors manage the hike or do some access via the 'back door' and
then negotiate the steps down, presumably then meeting those climbing up! Any pics I've seen make it look both very rugged
and sheer in places. Obviously I would be wearing proper walking boots but even so I find the prospect daunting.
Anyone from the London/Surrey/Sussex going? I'm from West Sussex?
