Petra, Jordan.

The beauty and wonder of Petra is hard to describe in words. This ancient city must be visited at least once in a lifetime. Be prepared for some serious walking between narrow passages, and cliffs as tall as four-story buildings, and the sight of a temple carved into a 39-meter pink rock is simply wow
I explored the city in one day but it was very tiring because the city is really huge. If you don't have the energy to explore it in one day, you can take two days to see everything without rushing. For me, the caves where people lived were very interesting, because it really turned out that entering one of the holes, the temperature was higher, and this actually protected people in the winter. In ancient times, Petra was inhabited by an Arab tribe who carved most of the sandstone facades of the buildings we see today and lived in numerous caves around the city. They had a network of canals and pipelines built, thus the city was always supplied with clean water. I advise you to go early so that you can have a leisurely walk. While you are walking around the city, you will see donkeys and camels with which you can take pictures, if you are not afraid:) Let me not forget to mention that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was also filmed in Petra. The price to visit Petra is about 67 euros, quite high, but worth it. Enjoy

I read a lot about this city and also saw popular science films. But looking at your photos, it looks like you were in Star Wars. You had a unique chance to visit this historic city. Thank you for sharing this journey. And yes, I did not expect the price of the visit to be 67 euros. It is a bit expensive.

The city is truly unique. Quite tiring, but certainly worth it for the atmosphere, the local people and the colors you see there. And yes, it is expensive, but if you get a chance to see it, it will be a memory of a lifetime. I wish you to visit it! Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you liked it:)))
