Small town vibes, great cheap falafel and friendly shop owners. Nights get cold so bring layers. Petra day trips are crowded but worth it.
Use the local minibus to Petra from the central station, it runs on a schedule and costs a fraction of a private taxi.
Nighttime felt calm and safe, I walked alone without issues, though some vendors can be pushy if you look unsure.
Mixed impressions: scenery and canyon walks are unforgettable, food was hit or miss and taxis sometimes quoted odd fares.
Hot and dusty in July, bring a hat. Sunsets are unreal. Hotels are basic and prices vary, two nights was enough for me.
