Random sights around Jordan

Donkeys were everywhere, and we couldn't resist the sight of great camel faces! The sand, layered rocks, sea views.....all pretty fantastic. Can't wait to go back and explore some more!

The Wadi Rum

The Wadi Rum is in the south, near Aqaba. We went diving in the morning and then desert exploring in the afternoon (not a bad day!!) Here's Bruce on camel ride to the old Nabatean temple. Again, everywhere you look - huge rocky mountains, red sand and great views!

Petra

We spent two days walking around Petra, and could easily have spent another. There was always so much to see and new views every where you turned. You can see the carved out camels in the canyon where Bruce is standing (this was a caravan route). The colours were amazing, and constantly changing as the sunlight changed.

and more of Petra...

I had to make two postings of Petra because one just wasn't enough! The red sand, and amazing carved out rock-mountain sides were incredible. There are several hikes up for views overlooking the Petra "city", and the walk in through the canyon (siq) is really a sight. You can see a glimpse of the treasury where Bruce is standing (now we need to rent "The Last Crusade" again...) Also, a pretty unique little lizard that sat just still enough for a few clicks of the camera!
