Petra

Our Jordan/Petra trip was amazing. After walking for a kilometer through a narrow gorge, it opened up into the city of Petra, which was inhabitated by the Nabataeans, an Arab people, 2000 years ago during the time of Christ. They lived here for over 400 years, carving their city into the sandstone cliffs, making temples, arched gateways, theaters, tombs, etc. and the most famous monument, The Treasury (pictured above). It truly is one of the New Wonders of the World.
