Car
Starting from Feynan Ecolodge, head northeast on the main road (Wadi Araba road). Continue for about 15 kilometers until you reach the junction for Uum Sayhoun. Turn left onto the road towards Uum Sayhoun and continue for approximately 5 kilometers. You will see signs directing you to the picturesque view of Petra. Upon arrival at the designated viewing area, you can park your car safely.
Public Transportation
From Feynan Ecolodge, you will need to arrange for a local taxi or shuttle service to take you to the nearest bus station in the town of Shobak, which is about 30 kilometers away. The cost for this taxi ride can vary but expect to pay around 15-20 JOD. Once in Shobak, you can take a local bus heading to Uum Sayhoun. When you arrive in Uum Sayhoun, ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest point to the picturesque view of Petra, which is about a 15-minute walk from the bus stop. Be prepared for some walking, as public transport may not drop you off directly at the viewpoint.
Hiking
If you prefer a more adventurous route, you can hike from Feynan Ecolodge to the picturesque view of Petra. This trek is approximately 10 kilometers and can take about 3-4 hours. Start by following the trails that lead north from the Ecolodge. Ensure you have a good map or a guide, as the trails can be rugged. Bring plenty of water and snacks, and wear sturdy hiking boots. This option is free of charge, but you might want to arrange for a guide if you're unfamiliar with the area.
