Petra Moon is one of the best-value picks within walking distance of the site. It stands on Petra Visitor Center Street, a few minutes on foot from the visitor centre and roughly ten minutes from the gate, with shops and ATMs nearby. The hotel has about 52 rooms and suites, soundproofed and air-conditioned, with multi-bed rooms for families and groups and suites with mountain views and bathtubs. The rooftop is the highlight: a garden with a seasonal outdoor pool and a Jacuzzi with views over the hills, and sundown barbecues in season. The Petra Juniper restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and local and international lunch and dinner. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are included.
Living in it: you can walk to the gate at opening and back for a rooftop swim in the warmer months, for much less than the hotels at the gate.
Trade-offs: the pool is seasonal, the street is busy by day and rooms are simple. Note that a separate Petra Moon Luxury Hotel also exists; check the name when booking.
