    Getting TO/AROUND: The desert highway is the fastest way to get to Petra from Amman...Unfortunately, it's rather bleak, but that can be beautiful in its own way.

    The road overall was great. The cab driver that took me down there at one time hit 170 kph, at dusk, with no headlights. It was rather exciting...

     Well, 2 years later, the country is as safe as before but the tourism still hasn't picked up, if you get up early enough, you still have Petra just for yourself!!
