Petra - Stone City

by nepalgoods - last update: Feb 9, 2004

Somewhere between this red rocks is Petra, the hidden city of the Nabatean Kingdom. It is incredible but this stony valleys are full of monuments and relicts of this great city, which had been forgotten for many hundred years. The white houses are the homes of the beduins, who used to life in the holes and monuments of Petra. They have been relocated to new home, so that the ruins of Petra can be visited my tourists.

 Petra is indeed an amazing place! I got a bit too much sun although I was wearing a scarf and was quite sick afterwards.

 The very name of Petra makes me dream! Great adventure in your travelogues! Ou have certainly done the good choice, walking on top the mountain instead of staying in a souvenir shop! Fascinating page!
