    • Recently we visited the beautiful gorge of Petra with a tour group. Some of the group rode a horse drawn cart, but they were very dirty and it was dusty. Also those who rode them had to leave the ruins at an appointed time. Walking was better! We just took it slowly.

    I got ripped off big time on souvenirs I bought from the Bedouins who had shops along the way to to monastery. It's not worth it to buy any thing from either the shops or the hawkers. Just enjoy the sites and buy the merchandise elsewhere.

    Our whole team found the best deals for souvenirs at Madaba. The fresh dates are great there.
