Petra, Jordan - A family trip, but nonetheless was a good family trip, simply because I get to hike the beautiful Petra.
Al-Khazneh / Treasury : My first thought of this place was a place to collect taxes! Simply because the route to the Treasury was long bin the Siq. At the end of the Siq, you will come upon this beautiful building right in front of you big as life! Naturally, you are expected to pay some form of payment for using the Siq route! But I was wrong hehe! According to our guide, the Treasury is a tomb for the high ranking socialite back then. Some say that the Treasury was actually used by the Pharaohs to hide their treasures while some believed it is used as a temple.
Petra is used to connect traders from as far as the middle east and the Mediterranean and the main meeting point to Egypt.
The Nabateans carved Petra and it has since then become the most beautiful places to visit before you die and I was lucky to be given the chance to visit this place.
Here are some pictures from Petra:
It has been a while since my last post. And I will not stop on Petra. I still have alot to write about Jordan. But for now I have to post this one.
Lovin' this pic of oranges and promagenades. They are so huge! Till my next post!
