exact breakdown of what everything costs inside petra so you can budget properly

Entrance ticket: 50 JOD for one day (90 JOD for multi-day but only worth it if youre doing 3+ days honestly)

Water inside: 3 JOD per bottle (robbery). Buy in wadi musa for 0.5-1 JOD

Tea at bedouin stalls: 1-2 JOD

Horse through the siq: they say 20 JOD, negotiate to 10-12 JOD

Donkey to monastery: 10-15 JOD one way, 20 JOD return (walked it myself, saved the money)

Guide services: 35-50 JOD for 2-3 hours depending on negotiation skills

Basin restaurant buffet: 15 JOD (skip it, see other posts)

Total damage if you bring your own food and walk everything: just the 50 JOD entrance plus maybe 5 JOD for tea and emergency water. Did the whole site for 55 JOD which felt reasonable for a world wonder.
