So much to see .... so don't hurry.
Wadi-Rum, Jordan, Sunset
We had lots of laughs when we arrived in Wadi-Rum after our day in Petra. Camel rides, GoPro video and stills. We had to be very very careful as the young female camel didn't like me that much. So I didn't let her be in this photo. LOL #Jordan #WadiRum #desert #camel #sunset #Nikor2470mmf28 #NikonD800
Ad-Deir (Monastery) with Abu Reem
Abu Reem owned the mules we spent the day on. I can't tell you how much my back and legs thanked him. These mules are real workers. Up 800 steps, down 800 steps and sure footed the entire way. When we do Petra next time, who you gonna call? That's right.... Abu Reem!!! #Jordan #Petra #Monastery #Mules #Nabataean #NikonD800 #Nikor2470mmf28
Our Awesome Guide: Ashraf Alnawafleh
We wanted a full day in Petra to see as much as we could but we never expected to meet someone who knew so much about the area. It's almost as if he has lived here for centuries. Ashraf is now our friend and when we return to Petra, we will contact him. Ashraf, you did a great job and helped make our visit to Petra unforgettable. Thank you. #Jordan #Petra #Mules #RockFormation #Gorge #1424mmNikor #Nabataean #NikonD800
As-Siq, Petra, Jordan
The genius of the Nabataean took advantage everywhere. Be sure to look near the floor of each wall and you will see channels carved into the rock to allow water to be transported. Years later, the Romans also took this knowledge and used it but it started here with the Nabataean. #Jordan #Petra #RockFormation #1424mmNikor #Gorge #AsSiq #Nabataean #NikonD800
The Treasury, Petra, Jordan
How can you forget this structure. Featured in Indiana Jones and the Last Cruisade movie. Carved by the Nabataean in the 1st Century BC. It is 30 meters wide and 43 meters high. Carved from the top to ensure that any falling debris would not damage what was just carved. Initially carved as a tomb for an important Nabataean King and later used as a temple. #Jordan #Petra #Nabataean #Treasury #IndianaJones #NikonD800 #1424mmNikor
As-Siq, Petra, Jordan
Every turn is amazing. The hike is easy and you'll stop at every turn. Don't forget to look up. The lighting helps to show off the natural beauty of this area so drink it all in.

Three Gossips is a mid-sized sandstone tower (about 350 feet at its tallest wall) sitting atop a roundish pedestal within the Courthouse Towers "cluster". The name no doubt comes from a slight resemblance of the formation to three heads "gossiping" to each other. Location: Canyonlands National Park, Utah.
