Jordan – Petra

The writing began on Sunday, February 6. It is 17.57. The place is a beach, a few kilometres from Aqaba to south. Currently there is a strong wind, but it is more or less warm.
The evening plan is to ship to Egypt. But I will tell it in order.

Retrospect to two previous days when I visited Petra. The morning awakening was in Dana National Park. In the dark along the side roads and through the fog and at last there it was – a parking site.

That was the wiew in the morning. But the park was closed because it was no season

So further to the south. Next stop was Petra, which has been mentioned that when visiting Jordan and to choose only one attraction in Jordan – then select Petra.. And it was very right!

Further a large quality of photos.

The road to canyon.

And canjon

Or Siq

And the guards

The first look	And little closer

So this place actually exists, not only in Indiana Jones films.

Somehow it seems incredible, that it is all carved out of the rock in one piece.

Amfitheatre, 8000 seats, also carved out of rock.

And more …

The whole mountain has got entirely a new form as the result of human hands.

Next mountain

A view from higher.

A hiking trail, fortunately with steps.

Wider stairs uphill.

Nearly 4 kilometres from the entrance is the Monastery, almost at the top of the hill.

Amfitheatre from the top.
