Today we visited Petra, also called the Rose Red City and immortalised in Indiana Jones and the last Crusade.
This is an amazing place, you enter via a long narrow canyon, more a crack in the rock sometimes less that 2 metres wide and after 1.2 km you emerge by the Treasury, hewn out of solid rock...
This an astounding sight but Petra just goes on and on, suprising you time after time with new marvels...
We climbed 800 steps to the Monastery, total exausted but well worth the climb...
We are back tomorrow to explore further, its a huge site.
