[00:00:00]This was probably the scariest drive of [music] my life, but the destination made it completely worth it. Little Petra is one of those places that many people skip. I actually [music] recommend visiting it before Petra. The journey there was [music] full of adrenaline. At some point, there was no paved road at [music] all. We were driving along the edge of the mountain.

[00:00:25]Our guide, who looked like the Jordanian version of [music] Rambo, drove us in a 4x4 truck that felt like it had a strong personality, and at some point, even a [music] cat appeared out of nowhere from inside the truck. What makes Little Petra [music] so special is how quiet and untouched it feels. It was once a key part [music] of the Nabataean trade network, which carved spaces where travelers would rest, [music] gather, and live, offering a more intimate look into their daily lives.
