About Beidha Neolithic Village

Beidha is one of the earliest farming villages known in the region, settled around 7000 BC, long before Petra was built. Excavations from 1958 uncovered round houses and, in the later layers, rectangular buildings with workshops, and several houses have been rebuilt to show how they looked. The site lies a short walk from Little Petra, north of Petra itself, and is open to visit without a ticket.
