We got up early the next morning to make our way to the ruins of Petra before the heat fully set in. However, being flexible with time is something to be learned when traveling in this part of the world. So, when our tour guide finally arrived, it was already warming up! On the positive side, the tour was in English!
You have the option of riding horses from the entrance at the Visitor Center to the Siq, which are canyons carved from years of flooding between the rocks. However, as I’m allergic and Amaia was a bit afraid of the four-legged creatures, we chose to do the walk.
There’s a lot of history that could be retold and such, but pictures can say it all, I think. So, here are some photos from Petra.
Though I got tired out the Olaverri family continued exploring while I rested. They say you can spend about three days exploring all the areas of Petra!
Overall, I was quite impressed with it and am so glad that I was able to see it.
Afterwards, we made our way to the Wadi Rum campsite for dinner and sleep!
More to come,
