Jordan
Page 1 of 2
I’ve “discovered” Jordan in an article from „Adventure Traveler” magazine. I knew before that there is Petra ancient city, but I did not know that there are excellent places for trekking. I’ve found in article many pictures from Petra and Wadi Rum region and that is why we have chosen these two places for our trip. Before departure we had many doubts , two months earlier terrorist attacked WTC and we knew that Jordan is a Islamic country. Trip showed us that our selection was perfect. Country is very safe and very interesting. You can find there deserts, world famous monuments, friendly people and there is even chance for diving!
To get to Petra from Wadi Musa (eng. Moses Valley) we passed through rock labyrinth. It is interesting that Petra inhabitants developed water system, part of this system is visible on left side of picture (it looks like shelf). Photo: Siq way to Petra
First building we have seen in Petra. City was founded around two thousands years ago by Nabataens. Treasury is the most remarkable Petra building. Photo:Petra - Treasury
Next antique building , to be honest I do not know what is name. Photo: Michal and old building
Monastery – astonishing building. Huge construction carved in rock. It is situated in mountains. What a view! Photo: Monastery - Petra
Wadi Musa above , Petra below
Now you know who has destroyed Petra. Such column you can see one hour walk from Petra. Photo: Ancient column and me
Jebel Haroun – place where Aaron , Moses brother was cremated. Photo: Jebel Haroun
After that we lost our way and we had to traverse valley Photo: Obvious path
After 1.5 days of march we arrived to amphitheatre Photo: Amphitheatre
We crossed a pass and we lost our way second time. In our guide book we found a description “descent route is obvious”.
It is example of ultra narrow canyon. The biggest problem for us in canyon was to find where we are. We had no good map and our GPS could not receive signal.
Sunset that we have seen from our tent.
After visit in mountains around Petra we moved to Wadi Rum - desert with fantastic rock formation.
We have seen only one tree in Wadi Rum
Simply nice landscape
Only living/moving form of life in Wadi that we hve had chance to see.
Looking for an accommodation
When we chose place for our tent we could not complain of view. Photo: Desert accommodation
