Also known as Siq al-Barid, Little Petra is another Nabatean site. Historians believe it was built during the height of Nabataean influence during the 1st Century C.E. and served as a suburb of Petra. As its name suggests, Little Petra is a smaller version of Petra, which lies only 12 minutes away.

Despite its size, Little Petra has its own magic and beauty. There are three spots of interest, with the Biclinium as the site’s highlight. The Biclinium is a cave that houses the most important and largest example of Nabataean mural painting.
