After an absolutely wonderful nights sleep, we were all
rested and re-energized to take on another exciting day! We knew we were going to Petra, but I don’t
think we had any idea what a truly spectacular experience we were in for.
The giant red mountains and
vast mausoleums of a departed race have nothing in common with modern
civilization, and ask nothing of it except to be appreciated at their true
value - as one of the greatest wonders ever wrought by Nature and Man.
Although
much has been written about Petra, nothing really prepares you for this amazing
place - it really does have to be seen to be believed.
Petra, the world wonder, is
without a doubt Jordan’s most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction.
It is a vast, unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans,
an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2,000 years ago.
The perfect end to a perfect
day was our stay at the Dead Sea Spa Hotel right on the beach of the Dead Sea. We are all looking forward to our youth renewing
mud treatment tomorrow and relaxing as we float on the water.
