Like I said in the post, when you are in Petra after walking down the Cardo turn left and follow the path behind the Qasr al-Bint. There will be a trail that goes off to the left but follow the one to the right. It is actually the trail that goes to Jebel Haurun, about 5 minutes or so down the trail there will be a sign on your right that discusses Umm al-biyara that is where the trail to the summit begins. The trails are pictured on some of the more detailed maps of Petra that are sold. Or you can always hire a Bedouin guide (but its always more fun to find it on your own). Thanks for reading, nick!
