Petra

For a long time, we have wanted to visit Petra in Jordan. We have been able to visit another Nabetean site in Saudi Arabia and it was interesting to see this site.

A picture of the hotel we stayed at. It overlooked the wadi where Petra is located. As you can see, it is on multiple levels and all rooms had a view.

We were not the only ones at Petra this day. The president of Turkey was also there. He, however, had 14 black cars in his entourage. We got to walk - other than a horse ride down part way into the first canyon.

Some of the homes and tombs found in the village of Petra. Remind you of Mesa Verde?

This is the canyon you come through to get to Petra - looking back at it from the Treasury.

The Treasury. No, Indiana Jones was not found here nor the goblet.
