Petra!

Alright! Petra time! And got named Mr. Corona the first thing in the morning by a bus guy. Yeah, I coughed instead of saying my name 😃 So... It's basically just a 10JOD 3h ride with a Jett bus from Amman to Wadi Musa. Desert road with a beautiful scenery around. Quick nap and there we were! Along we had the best sandwiches (vegi stuff) that we just bought on the street, so yummy!).
After settling into hostel (er.. cabin) it was time to go where Indiana Jones went. A semi-short stroll through the canyon and there we were - the treasury of Petra. Amazing as I thought! This is amazing. There weren't THAT many tourists which was fine.
Many guides want your attention but we picked the one who was the least pushy. So he took us to the path above to see the treasury. Along the way we got all kinds of info, kicked some little green thingies for the tea (I drink so much of this here). Basically this is just an entrance. And then the whole show opens. Theater. Sacrifice stone. Tens of homes, holes, stone walls of all kinds of colors. Just majestic! It all about hiking, climbing, taking a extra effort to avoid the tourists and experiencing this huge and beautiful old town. Enjoying the views. Beyond words. Also just like every proper city - they have transport here - donkeys and camels. I love their sweet soft steps 😊
Note the video - calling for the prayer. Just amazing.Read more
