Favorite Thing: Although it may seem that most of the Bedouin at Petra are just there to get your money, they aren't unfriendly, mostly aren't too much of a hassle, and they do add a lot of colour to the already amazing landscape of Petra. One of my favourite pictures of my trip was of these two Bedouin children, high up in the mountains above the city, on the way to the Al Deir temple. The little boy's English was extremely good, and I got him to stop trying to persuade me to buy trinkets for 10 dollars each by posing for this picture for half a dinar. It was worth every fil.

Favorite Thing: Petra also had a great collection of animals, some wild like the dogs, some tamed like the camels. All made for great pictures. My particular favourite was the desert puppy outside the Al Deir temple up in the mountains. He was wild, but totally unconcerned by my presence. He just sat and scratched while I took dozens of pictures of him. Then there was the poor sad donkey left by its owner to stand in the fading sun on the mountain top. Not even a flutter of its ear as I stood nearby beeping with my camera. Oh, and if any bird watcher can tell me what kind of bird it is in the picture, I'd be really grateful.

Favorite Thing: The landscape of Petra is amazing, and especially so as you get to the top of the rocks and start looking down onto the mountains and valleys to the rear of the city. It looks like you are staring out into a vast, untouched, unexplored region. And a not that many years ago, it was.

Excellent photo's and good tips! I'm planning on visiting in March so I plan to take advantage of your tips! | polakita Tue Aug 7, 2007 16:00 UTC
Your comments are very detailed and helpful. I could say that I also liked the Treasury in the evening, when it had a delicate pinkish light reflected from the oposite rocks. | mfas2000 Sun May 6, 2007 08:06 UTC
