    Jordan - Day 10 Tour - Petra

    August 6, 2019 in Jordan ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    What can I say but AMAZINGLY AWESOME. I have wanted to see Petra since I first saw Raiders of the Ark. This place has always fascinated me, how did they build this, who built this etc.

    To be hete today is the fulfilment of that life time dream.

    The canyons that you walk through with the light shining down through them, the roads built by the original owners and then the Roman paving, the water pipes and channels built by the Romans all this to just get to the Treasury which is what most people think of when they think Petra.

    This is just the beginning, the tombs, the temples, the city. Words cannot describe the feeling of being here.

    What we see today is 1% of what's there, 99% has not been excavated. WHAAAT. I would love to be apart of the archeological dig that continues to dig these ruins out and learn more about this city.

    Tirred and sore from walking approximately 16 km in scorching heat, but it was so worth it.
