Al-Khubtha Trail & Treasury Viewpoint
Al-Khubtha
The classic photo spot on Mount Al-Khubtha, reached from the Royal Tombs. From the cliff top you look down on Al-Khazneh and can avoid the crowds in the valley.
The Al-Khubtha trail begins near the urn tombs and climbs the rock-cut steps for about 40–60 minutes to the summit. At the top, a small tea tent set up by the Bedouin serves as the endpoint. From the cliff edge you can photograph the full view of Al-Khazneh below, a popular angle online. The tea tent usually charges a small fee or expects a purchase. The section is steep and has no guardrails along the cliff edge, so those who are afraid of heights should be careful. There is also an unofficial route led by guides from the outer side of the Siq, which requires caution. The coordinates are approximate.
