    Getting TO/AROUND:
    It was not that easy for us to get to Petra from Karak................

    We got a bus to Tafila from Karak,

    Then from Tafila to Shobuk got a taxi,

    The driver was great fun & even let us stop to take photos at Thana. ( which I have since not been able to find on a map! )

    The taxi itself was a work of art, he must have spent so much time decorating it, there was even carpet in the ashtray!

    THEN from Shobuk we got a bus to Petra itself.......Phew! (~_~)

    Getting TO/AROUND:
    You are able to have a camel or more usually a horse ride down through the Siq in to the heart of Petra.

    Please make sure you are happy with the condition of your animal (not for your sake for theirs!)

    At the entrance to Petra, just inside the main gate, there is a Brooke Hospital for Animals, your can get your ride from here from locals.

    Walking is much better though (~_~)
