About us

The Nabataean Trail Association

was established in 2021 as a pioneering community-driven initiative in the Petra region. Today, it brings together over 600 young members — a testament to strong local engagement in our mission.

From the beginning, our focus has been on supporting the local tourism sector and enabling community members, especially youth, to actively participate in tourism-related activities
