What to say about Petra?

What to say about Petra? First of all it was HOT but definitely worth the walk. It was about a 2.5 mile walk to the end of the city, passing building after building carved into the sandstone rock face of the cliffs (most were tombs). Grant and I climbed all around and up the rocky cliffs exploring. The view of the surrounding mountains was incredible.

The last site visited on our tour was Mount Nebo. This is the mountain that Moses climbed to view the promise land. At the top we (like Moses) were able to see the entire Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and all the way to Jerusalem. The perfect ending to our trip.
