The first glimpse of the rose city of Petra

(Nepal to the UK with Dragoman 1998)

From camping in a Roman Ampitheatre we pack up and hit the road driving from Bosra in Syria to Jerash in Jordan.
We are on a mission we have moved quicker than the itinerary in the hope that we'll have a few days up our sleeve so that we can sneak across into Israel for a couple of days.
But first we have to take a dip in the gulf, catch up with another Drago truck in Wadi Rum, check out Petra, spy the promised land from Mt Nebo and float in (Or is that on) the Dead Sea. These pages are part of a Truck overland journey with Dragoman from Nepal to the UK.......see my travelogues for more............Ange
