Middle East » Jordan » South » Petra July 19th 2001

The next day we went to Petra again, but this time to look at all of the lost city. It was so amazing. The colours of the rocks there were something I had never seen before. It took us a while to get to the entrance way this time, as it was really hot, even though it was morning.

We decided to extend the stopover for a few days so we could see the major tourist attractions. 15 – 16 December 1978 Friday and Saturday – Friday night we flew from Frankfurt arriving in Amman, Jordan on Saturday morning. We relaxed the rest of the day, walking around Amman and making arrangements for tours on the next two days. 17 December 1978 Sunday.
