    Petra

    November 4, 2023 in Jordan ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    We woke up really early because today we went to Petra! After picking up our tickets, we spent almost 7 hours walking through Petra. We walked through the Siq to the Treasury, and then onwards along the Al Khubta and Wadi Al Ferasa trails - about 25,000 steps and 18.5km of walking.

    The next day, we also woke up really early to head to Petra before the crowds. We headed straight to the Monastery, the second most famous site in Petra, covering about 15km (return) and 800 steps. On the way up to the Monastery, we were invited into a shop for tea with a Bedouin lady. We had a nice break at the Monastery, before heading back to the car and stopping off for falafel sandwiches for lunch. We finished off our day with a beautiful sunset from our hotel and a massive home cooked meal of chicken mansaf.
