    • You have to buy tickets for horses to go to the beginning of the Sik (gorge) at Petra, even if you do not intend using them. If you use them then a horse owner goes with you and you go at his pace and cannot stop for photos.... So we walked. You really need to walk through the sik at your own pace to get the feel of the area.

    • Yes I suppose that it was a 'tourist trap' to pay the locals to cover you in mud from the Dead Sea... but it was also fun at the time and did give us some unusual holiday photos! Mind you it was a tough job getting rid of the mud afterwards. Be warned it gets everywhere!!
