Al Beidha

Near to Siq Al Barid (Little Petra) is an area known as Al Beidha.  

We will drive a short distance on to Al Beidha, or 'the white one' on account of the color of its rock.

Al Beidha contains the remains of a Neolithic site, dating back to 7,500 BC which makes it one of the earliest known co-operative villages on earth.

It is still easy to imagine the sounds and smells of the old days when traders, caravan masters and drovers lived and traded here.

Mediterranean trees such as Oak, Juniper, Carob, and Pistachio thrive in this small sandy valley.
