Get away from the crowds in Petra & walk up to the high sacrifice,
Also take the time to walk to the monastry rather than staying in the centre where it can be very busy. You can climb up the side of the monastry, on to the very top of it, but looking down isnt for those with vertigo!
Give a donation to the donkey sanctuary as you walk in to Petra. (or out!)
Visit a locals cafe, have a game of backgammon.
I am sure Jarash has its busy times, but there was hardly anyone else there when we visited, the same for Karak Castle

Off The Beaten Path: ~Electric Rock~

The High Place of Sacrafice is a good walk from Petra's main area, there is a path by the side of the Ampitheatre. Well worth the trek, the views are incredible. We only saw one other person on our way there & back and he was a drinks seller!
We had quite an amusing experience whilst walking up to the high Place of Sacrifice at Petra.
We came across a man sitting behind a rock selling Pepsi, seemingly in the middle of no where.
He had a fridge, which I can see would keep already cold drinks, cold longer. But he had taped the electric lead in to a rock, to try to give the impression that the fridge was plugged in!
It stuck Alex & myself as so funny (I think it must have partly been the heat!), Even the drinks seller couldnt help laughing.
(~_~)
To top it off, the drinks were warm!

Off The Beaten Path: Tomb of Aaran

Aaran was the brother of Moses, you can see his tomb (just!), in the distance from the High Place of Sacrafice on top of Jebel Hor, Petra. Which is a 6 hour trek away!
If you look very closely (enlarge the photo) at the middle peak you can see a while nipple shaped dome, that is the Tomb of Aaran! (~_~)

I spent a few nights in the hotel in The White House, and yes i agree the owner was quite comical, however i stayed in the upstairs apartments and found them to be quite big and luxurious. Needed that after treking around Jordan | shintarojon Mon May 29, 2006 03:46 UTC
