Ahhh, Petra.
Words fail to truly describe one of my favorite places on the planet adequately. In short, this is a place that dreams are made of.

A horse buggy makes time, galloping to the top of the Siq to pick up a new visitor.
Behind it, mausoleums carved into the hillsides.
The past two years have been busy for Petra. The local Bedouins (Jordanians) have made structural, landscaping and safety improvements to keep the site, and you, safe. There are also cleaning crews constantly on the job to keep the paths clear after the army of horses, camels and donkies on site. The improvements are vastly noticeable in comparison to the state of the park during my last visit. The downside is that it feels more like a park than a discovery. But don't worry, there are still plenty of places to explore to get your Indiana Jones on.
I just can't get enough of these amazing, wind-carved walls.
The Treasury reveals itself at the end of the Siq path
Another new development is an abundance of locals dressed up in period costumes...
