Ad-Deir Back Route

Discover the serene beauty of nature with the Ad-Deir Back Route, a hidden gem that offers a unique pathway to the magnificent Monastery of Ad-Deir. Starting from Kharrubat al-Fajja, just a short distance from the main road to Beidha, this trail invites you to step away from the crowds and immerse yourself in breathtaking landscapes and stunning mountain views overlooking Wadi Araba.

While the beginning of the trail is gentle and accessible, it gradually leads you through an agricultural area that highlights the region’s charm. For those seeking a little extra support, donkeys are available for hire to assist you on your round trip from the starting point to where the steps ascend towards Ad-Deir.

Please note that this guided experience lasts approximately 4-5 hours and is classified as hard due to its more challenging sections. A car or bus can take you conveniently from the visitor center right to the trailhead.

Join us on this enriching journey, where every step reveals nature’s wonders. We invite you to explore this remarkable route with us—your adventure awaits!
