Petra
After getting into Wadi Musa from our desert camp we set off to see Petra. I initially though this wouldn't be that big just mainly the Indiana Jones temple. I was sooooo wrong! Petra is massive. It is an entire city that is hidden in the mountains. It is fantastic and totally unexpected. To get into the city you have to first walk through the Siq …
Love affair with everywhere: Jordan

I Looked Over Jordan & What Did I See?
