    • In Petra, as it is such a big place, many people opt to ride a donkey or camel around, or just up to the monestary. We didn't, we're young and our legs work just fine.

    This is not so much a 'warning or danger' per se, but just a heads up, the way they treat the animals here is despicable. They kick them, hit them with sticks, I even saw one kid throwing rocks at a donkey, and not small rocks either.

    I am not some 'save the animals' hippy dude, but the way they treated the animals here was just disgusting. Don't support this, don't ride the donkey.

     Cool info on Petra...this place is on my travel wish list...LOL..actually the Indiana Jones movie was the very first time I saw/knew of the Siq and the Treasury. As a kid then, it was very intriguing indeed : )

     Indeed, Petra looks spectacular, and very much worth a visit. Too bad I missed your little show at the amphitheater. Thanks for sharing your Petra adventure with us.
