Drive to Aqaba and Petra

The Road to Aqaba, Trucks leave empty and Return Full!	Through The mountains	Leading to Shobak Castle	Dating back to the Crusades	Shobak was defense from the Crusaders	Was an easy approach by our car, our Money was welcome.
It looks formidable, but we felt welcome	Reenactment is a regular event	I sure hope they're fake	Many hidden comforts were enough to fool the crusaders	The crusaders thought that surrounding and starving would...	Hidden tunnels, water and other resources enabled them to...
Looking Back at Shobak	Welcome to Petra	No horses needed on the way in , it is all down hill	The beginnings of the carvings into the mountain.	Another welcoming Committee	It was over ninety for sure
Happy return from Petra in the horse buggey	The Red Rose City	Nearly a 2 km walk down into Petra	Looks like a fish, a gold one	Not for Long, this view looks like an elephant Trunk	Stopping for a Picture
Didn't quite understand these carvings, but they were...	More of the same	Firs Glimpse of the Treasury	Still quite a way off	Just another turn	Straight Ahead, the Treasury
Treasury	Treasury,	More protection	The camel is asking for Dinar	First time Camel Jockey	Happy to Pose at the Treasury
From another Angle	Treasury Details	Beyond the treasury, the world opens up	IMG 7841	IMG 7842	IMG 7846
