"Ad-Dier the Monastery"
Petra is an ancient mountain city in southern Jordan thousands of years old, yet shades of ancient Petra still endure in the
desert landscape. The facades of its buildings peer out from banks of drifted sand and you can wander freely among them,
fingertips on carved rock that still speaks an ancient language. Petra was the Nabataean capital, situated on a pass through
the Shara mountains, it was an important city for the Bedouins and their caravans. In an area that gets only 6 inches of rain a
year they mastered the problem of water and supported a community of 30,000. The dizzying array of temples, tombs,
theaters and other buildings chiseled out of russet sandstone, scattered over 400 square miles are monumental and dramatic,
even when compared to the Greek masterpieces of the day.

"Siq" entry to Petra"
This morning we begin our exploration of this mysterious
stone city called Petra. Situated on the edge of Wadi Araba,
the sheer and rugged sandstone hills form a deep canyon called
the Siq which is the entry to the hidden city. You can walk, or hire
a camel or horse and ride in as Indiana Jones did in the movie
"The Last Crusade" which was filmed at Petra. Hewn out of ruddy
rock in the midst of a mountain wilderness, sumptuous in ornament
and savage in environs, poised in wildness like a great carved opal
glowing in a desert, this lost caravan city staggers the most experienced traveler.
Once we catch our breath after our first glimpse at this remote and mystical city spread out before us like a lost and hidden
world, we will explore amazing stone temples and buildings such as the Khazneh Treasury, Amphitheater, Temple of the
Winged Lions, Royal Tombs and Ad-Dier the Monastery. We have a full day and you can hire camels or horses to explore the
more remote parts of this vast complex.
