If you only go to one place in Jordan, make it Petra located at Wadi Musa half way to the South of Jordan. It took us 3 hours to reach from the port town of Aqaba. Petra means rock in Greek, home to 20 thousands Nabataean, a nomadic tribe, whose dwellings, temples and tombs were chiselled and bored out of rock face.This city existed as early as 100 B.C. and was ran over by Roman and Muslim invaders before being abandoned completely. The main attraction (photo) called the treasury is tucked away in a confined space and only come on sight after navigating through a narrow and winding canyon. The view is awesome, something that we always see only on photos and books.
