The promised land and a float in the Dead Sea

We left at 8am from Amman heading for Mount Nebo where Moses stood to see the promised land. 45 drive and we were there. Out and around the site, ok view across the Jordan River to the West Bank and Israel due to haze.

From there to the Dead Sea. Got changed and down to the beach - wade out and just get taken off your feet. Very floaty, water feel quite slimy though - and tastes freakin terrible. Spent an hour floating around and then paid 3JD to get covered in the theraputic mud. Supo...

Petra and my aching feet

Early start today. We left as a group for Petra at 8am with Zuhir our guide. A long walk into the site with the last 1.6km through the Siq, a narrow canyon in the rocks.

Finally Zuhir made us line up on the left side of the Siq and close our eyes - we took 3 steps forward and looked right to see the Treasury appear before us, just like the Indiana Jones movie.

Walked down around the Treasury and then continued further into the site. We went around some more of the tombs and then...

Petra, Jordan (And Indiana Jones!)

... of us decided to walk the additional two miles further into Petra. After a quick bag lunch at a little café stall near the Theatre – yogurt, a banana, a juice box, and pita bread with various cheeses – we walked onward down the Colonnaded Street, a beautiful street that once led through Petra’s center. Here, we saw even more beautiful temples, public buildings, and shops.

Toward the end of the Colonnaded Street, we came across a few more ...

... western style toilets. I don't even require toilet paper to be included, the toilet doesn't need to flush, it can run, i don't even care; i just need a seat!

Today i'm going to see the lost city of Petra. The rest of my tour saw it yesterday on a guided tour but i stayed behind at the hotel and rested and slept because i was feeling really unwell and was not up to the massive amount of heat and walking that was involved in ...

Morgen Petra.. Khou jullie op de hoogte!]

Oke, couchsurfen bij Bedoeinen is niet zoals bij andere mensen.. Zo slaap je waarschijnlijk niet bij je host zelf.. Na onze i-netsessie nam Ghassab ons mee naar klein Petra, alvast een soort voorproefje.. Bizar grote 'gebouwen' in en om grotten uit steen uitgehouwen, en een heleboel goten en waterkelders om niet om te komen van de dorst..

... in the tombs when people were buried in them but there is nothing inside them today.
Petra was not just a huge graveyard as it was a large city in it’s prime. However, the Nebataeans lived in similar ways that Bedouin people live today - in tents. That is why almost no homes or living quarters have been found at Petra.
As I said before, you could spend an entire day at Petra and still not see everything, so three hours was gone before we knew it. I didn ...

... airplane flight from Eilat to Tel Aviv, one stranger fumbled through her purse for a bag of potato chips in hopes that would make him feel better.
The trusting ones: While getting on the aforementioned airplane, we watched a woman hand over her infant to a random stranger so that she could take care of putting away the baby carriage.
The pushy ones: You'll find these "family members" in most stores around Jerusalem. If you so much as look at an item for ...

Auf dem letzten Kreuzzug

Wenn irgend jemand nach Jordanien kommt, dann muss er einfach dorthin; manche kommen sogar nur aus diesem einen Grund: Petra. Petra ist eine ueber 2000 Jahre alte Felsenstadt, errichtet hauptsaechlich waehrend des 1. Jahrhunderts von den Nabataeern, mit vielen Einfluessen aus Ost (Persien) und West (Rom). Fast alle Gebaeude sind nicht freistehend, sondern aus dem leicht zu bearbeitenden Sandstein der Felswaende herausgemeisselt. Die Stadt profitierte vor ...
