Petra, Petra - Wadi Musa

Truly a wonder of the ancient world, and the principal cultural treasure of the Kingdon of Jordan. It's worth the trip. We spent a day there and only saw the things on the main path. There are many other sites off the main trail. We could have spent two or three days exploring it all. We should have got our admission tickets at the airport when we obtained our visas. Don't forget Little Petra - if you have the time. Water, sunblock, a hat, and good shoes are a must. You can pay to be driven/carried all the way to the Monastery. So many vendors. In some places they ruined the atmosphere of it. But they have a right to be there - It's their home. Just don't buy anything from children.

Lots of walking. Don't forget to take water and comfy shoes! The views are awesome! It really feels unreal. For those of us history nerds, you'll have a visual feast. So much to see, to experience and enjoy. I walked around 26km during my one-day visit, so...yeah, lots of walking! You've been warned. Enjoyable visit and higly recommend going. Go early!! That way you avoid all the large tourist groups that arrive at around 7:30am-8:00am (so yeah, arrive before that!). That way you get cool pictures without many people!
