petra is one of the most interesting places you can visit in this world.
it's an ancient nabatean town carved out in the rocks and situated in the desert surrounded by mountains.

in 20 years of travelling i consider Petra the most interesting ancient site in the world.

    Thanks for this but is the cost per carriage or per person and are there plenty of carriages?

    Thank you Claus for bringing back sweet memories about my trip to Petra three days ago... Magnificent place! Pity I couldn't stay for a night in one of the hotels you suggested.

    This is the place I'd rank highest as a "want to see" in the Middle East. I never cease to be amazed at those rock-carved buildings.
