Tod & I left the Crowne Plaza about 8am to walk into Petra and climb - approx 800 steps - to THE MONASTERY, which is another impressive site. It is not as busy, due to the long climb up,but definitely worth the effort! The Monastery is a gigantic first century monument, carved into the mountain; perhaps a tomb or temple built in a style similar to The Treasury.
Walked back to our hotel by about noon to get our of the afternoon heat and tonight we will see "Petra by Night."
