Hotels near Petra

Petra, originally known to its inhabitants as Raqmu, is an ancient city and archaeological site in southern Jordan. Famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit systems, Petra is also called the "Rose City" because of the colour of the sandstone from which it is carved. The city is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

91 hotels within 5km of Petra in Ma'an Governorate, Jordan, including 19 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is Petra view apartment, about 1.9km away.

For most visitors, Wadi Musa is the obvious base: it sits about 2km from the Petra entrance, close enough to walk or take a short taxi ride, letting you get in early before the crowds and return midday to rest before an afternoon visit. Options here range from the Petra Sella Hotel and Petra Moon Hotel to the larger Mövenpick Resort Petra and Petra Marriott Hotel, covering both budget and full-service stays right at the site's doorstep.

Aqaba, about 120km away via the Desert Highway, suits travelers combining Petra with beach time on the Red Sea. It requires a road transfer or taxi/bus ride each way, so it works best as a base if you're prepared for that daily or one-time trip. Hotels include the DoubleTree by Hilton Aqaba, Al Manara (a Luxury Collection Hotel), Saraya Aqaba, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Tala Bay, and Luxotel Aqaba Beach Resort & Spa.

Wadi Rum Village, roughly 100km from Petra and reachable by road transfer or shared taxi/bus, appeals to those pairing desert camping with a Petra day trip. Stays here are in camps like Rum Angel, Sultan Luxury Camp, and Terra Nova Camp.

Amman, about 235km away, works if Petra is a side trip from the capital via bus, car, or organized tour. Hotels include the Amman Rotana, The Ritz-Carlton Amman, Sheraton Amman Al Nabil Hotel, and Four Seasons Hotel Amman — best suited to those prioritizing city amenities over proximity.
