After a harried from Mt Nebo (what do these people have against direction signs? No wonder Moses wandered for 40 years. Plus I doubt he read Arabic.), we arrived last night in Petra in time to go see 'Petra By Night'. This is a photo of the Treasury this morning. Imagine it by full moon and candlelight with music playing while sipping sweet tea. Very magical.
After breakfast this morning we trekked the same two miles back through the siq to the Treasury and began another of our famed forced marches.
Petra is a 2000+ year old site of monuments, temples and tombs completely carved out of the most amazingly coloured and variegated sandstone imaginable. The scale is incredible.
Walked for a total of six hours and frankly just can't walk any more.

Is that Harrison Ford and Sean Connery coming out of there? ;^)
