    Getting TO/AROUND: We arrived to Aman by plain with Royal Jordanian. Puntual and with good service. We took the same company to go from there to Delhi after.
    When you arrive to the airport you have to get the VISA to get inside the country., 10 J.D.

    Just there you will find a change money office. By the time we went , July 2004, the change was
    100 euros = 81 J.D.

    Taxi!: Taxi to Petra

    Getting TO/AROUND: From the airport we took a taxi to Petra, 3 hours with stop for tea and rest. If you go by day remember to have something to cover your shoulders and head, if you don?t be sure the sun will burn your skin like fire burns chicken skin at BBQ. The taxi driver will stop in his traditional bars with bazaars and everything, so if you forgot to buy something, you have the opportunity now.
    2 teas, 1 coffe, 3 little honey and dry fruits pies = 6,10 J.D.
    We had the taxi in the pack with the hotel so I can not tell you how much it will cost if you go by yourself.

    Getting TO/AROUND: At the entrance of Petra, inside, you will find the Horse Hospital. There you can hire a horse or to ride till the entrance of the Siq, or hire a camel to go all around. Maybe next time I will try a camel ?
    There are beautiful arabic horses, if you don't want to hire one, just sit down for a while looking how they move ... beautiful animals

    Maybe you could ask for Bassem, that owns few beautiful horses and hire them there. I hope I would have make a picture of those beautiful animals. Bassem is a great person and his animals are his treasure.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Once inside, from the Siq you will find camels and donkeys to hire all over around. I have always heard that camels don’t have good mood but everybody assured me that they where very noble animals with good temper. Ok … they looked quite, but … maybe next time.
    From museum to the top of the Monastery they offer us a donkey for 4 J.D.

    Getting TO/AROUND: I was invited to take a ride in a horse cab along the Siq. I couldn?t deny such invitation so I tryed this way of travelling ... really nice ... just ... I know this observation is not very romantic ... but ... the way was full of pockets so you finish a little sore.
    If I ever go again ... I will take one again :) thanks for the ride:)
