Today the tour took us to the insanely vast site of Petra. The place is huge, and walking through the Siq tothe treasury is worth the price of admission alone! It is very popular and as such the best photos without too many people can be obtained later in the day (when the light is better anyway). Also took in the Royal Tombs (had a geek out moment with the scene from Mortal Kombat 2!) and took the long (but definitely worthwhile) walk up to the monastery and sacrificial high places.

Definitely a highlight of the tour so far and well worth a visit!

En route we also had a quick float in the Dead Sea and walked up to Mt Nebo for the awesome shots of the Promised land as viewed by Moses (apparently). All very biblical lol.

Richy :)
