Petra Return

Another early start and back down the siq into Petra. We were waiting for the sun to hit the Treasury, but soon realised that was a bit like watching the pot boil so carried on whilst it was quiet.

This time we took the steep steps carved into a side canyon, and had the trail almost entirely to ourselves. The Place of High Sacrifice (goats, not people!) was our reward, along with some great views back into the ancient city and out over the rugged landscape.

We made our way back down the gentle way and back out along the main route. We felt as we'd really explored Petra well and glad we had the extra time there.

Next we headed a couple of hours down to Wadi Rum. Leaving our car in the village they ran us out to our camp in a 4x4 when we enjoyed a super chilled sunset, meal & stargaze.Read more
