Thank you Uma ji. It is encouragement like this that keeps us going.

Hi Helen, They are available in most souvenir shops across Jordan. They are most common of Jordan souvenirs people pick up. I too picked up one.

Luca, Petra is too big a site and it is anyways ruins. Lets hope for the best and yes, visit it soon. Come back and tell us about your experience of visiting it.

Thanks Michelle – to see the real carving on hard stone, you need to visit Ellora in India – you would be spellbound at the technology used to cut the monolithic rock and carve out and intricately carved rock from it – see here – https://inditales.com/kailash-cave-ellora/

Nope, I think you need at least 2-3 days to explore the Petra at leisure, to see the hidden corners, to get into those caves where civilization thrived. In a day you just do the touristy circuit. But then this site is so damn costly to enter everyday.
