Sella Hotel Wadi Musa

Hi. This is my dream holiday. I would love to travel to the Middle East to see the spectacular culture of this amazing region. Please help me with my funding if you too would like to live vicariously through me.(Erica, middle school pre-algebra teacher)<br>Day 1 Arrive AmmanArrive in Amman at any time.Day 2 Jerash (B)Straddling the trading route from the eastern Mediterranean into the Orient, Jarash is still resplendent with its colonnaded streets, baths, handsome theatres, and spacious ...

... 8217;s steps. We are served mint tea and listen to two musical numbers performed on traditional Jordanian instruments. This is followed by a short monologue about Petra and its relationship to people. Following the performance we walk back under a full moon and candlelit path. It is magical and mystical at the same time. We are among the last to arrive back at the entrance gate and arrive back at our hotel after 11 PM. All we can say is WOW.

... 1 dinar"<br><br>We had a late lunch break and and then split up, some went to climb to the monastary but I had used up my fitness for the day so headed back out to the entrance with Ali and Dee. A solid 45min uphill walk out of the site saw us back at the hotel at 4pm for ice creams after a long day in the site.<br><br>Petra is a fantastic site and very difficult to cover in 1 day - however I was happy with what I saw, I would like to visit again and see the Monastary.<br>

... carving this piece of art out of a mountain side is incredible! Cody scattered some of his dad's ashes around petra aswell, so now Terry has been to the Pyramids, and Petra :)<br><br>We walked around quite a bit and got some great shots (of course) of us and Petra. Cody and I have to watch Indiana jones and the last crusade to see petra. We saw some real cheesy shirts there with indiana jones on them that say Petra ...

... been cooking in the ground for six hours - yum, yum, yum. Traditional dancing round the fire sets the evening off as I head back to my tent. A camel ride at breakfast and then Jeep ride over the dunes sets the adrenalin pumping, the vastness of the desert is really put into perspective, I can taste the sand in my mouth that is in the air. Next we go to go the Red Sea, a divers Mecca, do I dive? Yes sir I do, dive into the 80 ...

... sta ik dr ook es op..).<br><br>De kameel bracht me naar het 'stadscentrum' van Petra, waar de grootste verzameling tempels, huizen, gebouwen en andere soorten steen-uithouwsels te zien zijn. Ghassab had ons aangeraden niet helemaal door te gaan naar de Monastary, maar alleen de 'high holy place' te beklimmen. Ja leuk, maar de ANWB is hier nog niet echt doorgebroken, en we vonden dus een heleboel high places en bouwwerken en grotten, maar niet de juiste ...

... that in Egypt!! I just walked around for about 9 hours today and I'm freakin tired, so this is it today. Petra was definately a highlight of this trip. Given it is a top 7 world wonder and the only one of the 7 I have seen, you'd think this would be my favorite thing I've ever seen, however I think Angkor Wat trumps it, as do the pyramids minus all the f'n vendors everywhere... Mashi Mashi, 3 days to go until I get home, time to enjoy what I've got left!

... nach Geldbeutel wahlweise einen Esel, ein Pferd oder ein Kamel chartern und sich darauf herumkutschieren lassen. Aber bei der Art, wie die Besitzer mit ihren Viechern umgehen, ist mir die Lust auf sowas gaenzlich vergangen... Den Rest der Zeit verbringe ich wie jeder andere Petra-Besucher in Wadi Musa. Wadi Musa ist ein beschauliches Staedtchen, errichtet an einem steilen Hang direkt vor dem Haupteingang zur Felsenstadt. Und eins steht fest: Wuerde es ...

... compared to the some in Africa who just act like animals. So I went back to the guy and asked him again and he said it could be here maybe at 9:30 instead then the Jordanian guy came in and had a go at me and asked me why I didn't believe him when he told me it wasn't coming! I dint know what he expects when clearly he was a bit dodgy so we didn't really know what to do and now he was getting his taxi driver mates involved. Me and Mark were clearly not suckers and ...

... kids maybe 4 or 5 years old who go out and sell coloured rocks and postcards. They speak surprisingly good English. Had a little girl follow me up the mountain for half an hour trying to sell me a rock for 1 dinar. Had a laugh with her and then tried selling her a rock I picked up for 2 dinar and she saw the funny side. Jordanian people are very friendly from the ones I've met. They don't hassle you and I think they are genuinely happy to see people visiting their country, of ...
