Sunday, May 17, 2009 - Petra

We met our guide for a 1/2 day, Abdullah, and told him we didn't want the typical tour - we wanted to see some of Petra's hidden secrets, and we had time to explore the other sites on our own. He took us on an alternate trail thru the mountains to a cliff that overlooked The Treasury-it was an incredible sight and we were the only ones there.




After going down the mountain to Petra, we did a short tour thru the rest of the sights and then back to our hotel to avoid the afternoon heat.
Late afternoon, we walked back down The Siq and into Petra. We climbed about 650 step to see THE HIGH PLACE OF SACRIFICE, which again, overlooks Petra below.
