Petra


No wonder Petra has been recently elected as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
UNESCO entitles it as “one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s cultural heritage”.
Walking through the mile long, canyon with almost 100 meter walls into the city and viewing the magnificent red-rocks,
carved palaces and temples is a lifetime exhilarating experience.
If you like history, adventure and photography, you owe it to yourself to visit this place, at least once in your lifetime!.

Nicely done, Dov. Somehow it looks more commercialized than when I was there years ago, but still fascinating. V.
