PETRA

Per Pete:
"A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Petra dates back to 6th century BC and has some of the most intact ruins in the world. It was recently voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. I did a weekend trip from Eilat, Israel to see Petra and Wadi Rum in 2 days/1 night. I used Desert Eco Tours, and can find my review below. Petra is awesome. Lived up to the hype. I regrettably have never seen the Indiana Jones movie that was filmed here, but I guess that gives me more the reason to watch it now. Plus, there is so much more to see in Petra. I wouldn't recommend going for half day as most of our tour did. There is a lot more to see beyond the main site, the Treasury. I think you can cover most of it in a full day though.

Also, again Jordan was fantastic experience. Very friendly, safe spot. I enjoyed listening to my guide tell stories on the history, his life, and Jordan in general. Go visit!"
