We took my two young daughters with me. My husband is Jordanian so we got the best deals. We went in spring 2006 and it was already hot there. We spent hours and hours climbing to the cerimonial place (so not worth it) whereas it would have been much better to have skipped it and gone on to see as much as we could.

I liked the food, its just a nice place to go and meet new peeps. i paln on going back this summer to meet more friends.

At first I had a guild because the price was too much (21 Dinars: nearly 40 CAD), later I got on a horse and travelled 1.5 km along a sandy path to get to the mountains, from their and on we started ...

One of my favorite places in the world...Petra is surreal being completely carved out of red-colored sandstone. Can feel very lonely in the nether regions of the valley. Lots of hiking trails to explore. Had tea with a bedouin in a cave. Be sure to visit The Monestary (Al Deir) via donkey or on foot - be careful if you decide to climb to the top of ...
