The Yannakis's and the Temple of Doom :)
... to their donkey), comes with free air conditioning”, “you want drink – its happy hour, I do you good deal”, “postcard, for you, 1JD”.
We spent 4 hours in Petra on our first day visiting the Amphitheater, climbing up the hills to visit the Urn Temple, Silk and Royal Tombs. It was a really hot day, around 30 degrees and we both struggled, drinking plenty of water and eating biscuits for energy – ...
Love affair with everywhere: Jordan
... I am serious, we slept in the desert. This is a pretty awesome experience, but you have to be a little more than trusting as you are quite literally in the middle of the desert with nowhere to go.

We ended up at the Rum Stars Camp (25 JD/pp) with nine other travelers. The Bedouins made a lovely ...

Pressed for time to exit Petra and reach the nearby hotel for lunch by the 3:30 cut-off, I moved swiftly back from where I had come past the Colonnaded Street and 8,000-seat amphitheater, returning to The Treasury to take some photos. There were fewer people around now, so it was simpler to get ...
