2006.05.20_Petra 4 - Rock







It was mid-afternoon and we got time to visit two more lookout points uphill to see the arid valley scenery surrounding Petra. Just like the ruin itself, the views of the surrounding were dramatic. On our way out we stopped by more royal tombs and small cave dwellings. We were exhausted from the return hike and heat but we could still get excited and rush to take photos when we encountered rocks with unique patterns. From the ruins of the civic centre it was another 2km before we reached the visitor centre. Everyone seemed to be leaving at the same time, by horses, by donkey carts, by feet and so on. In the evening we had dinner at Red Cave Restaurant. After the meal I walked up to the village of Wadi Musa by myself to the Internet café.
