Winged Lion Zone

by dr.firas

This spot is located up on the hills and mountains of Petra so you have to ask the guide to lead you there!It worth, but if you don't ask, the guide won't tell you about it!So show Knowledge and insist to go there!

Let's Ride

by dr.firas

Sure...The way back after the whole day of hiking is to have the best suggestion to ride something!Ride a Camel, Horse, Chariot, or Donkey!Prices are different!Horses are the most expensive about 10$Camels 5$ or chipper!Chariot about 5$ too!And Donkey if there is one will coast 1$Poor Jackass!

Ooppsss

When we all opened our eyes!Approaching from the amazing spot of the basic Grave yard of Petra we saw some tourist without guide, were on the Camel!They stopped and camel had a rest,It was a great view to connect Camels with Petra and the exotic atmosphere!

Pink City

by dr.firas

This Part I reached at 16.00pm and the City was Red Rose!The Noboutians are amazing,They had for sure the Influence of the Greek style in Building!But they built the city by there owns!And that is an important point for the Jordanians as Noboutians are one of the Grand Parent of Arabs!

Close your eyes and walk!

by dr.firas

Please close your eyes and walk I'll count down to zero and you'll open your eyes!Those were the words of the Guide!I thought he was silly!But I did what he said and all of us too!As we walked through the sig and suddenly you see the greatest view of the main Grave yard of Petra!I’ll never forget this fantastic view and impressions.

Paved Street

by dr.firas

The Paved Street is the one of the Basic Roman ways!And it will be the last station of your trip in Petra.But there is lot to see in this street as the beautiful Roman Temple ruin is located in this street!

Dead Sea

by kiwiwahine

We had been on the road for quite some time, about two months, when we got to the Jordan coastline. Most of us had suffered from the "trots" within the last week or so. So our rear ends were still a litle sore. When you get into the Dead Sea the salinity is unbelievable any little scratch will hurt, which is where our butts come in. OUCH!! But bear with it because the pain does fade its just the initial shock. Another thing don't attempt to swim you'll end up getting water in your eyes which is worse than a sore bum.
