Petra is believed to be the place where Moses struck a rock and got water from it, and where his brother Aaron was buried. The name of Wadi Musa which is nearby village bears his name Musa(Moses in Arabic) as well.
Would it have been human's touch or done by nature, it made a beutiful scenary, but a herd of goats caught my eyes.
Let alone all the beutiful sights in front of you, this rose-coloured rock was amazing enough to get my attention for a while.
Despite the mosquito bites that covered all over her face, her face was glowing over this unusual and beutiful scenary.
Roman amphitheatre. It might look pretty similar to all other roman ruins found all over the Europe and around the Mediterranean, but soon it reveals it's unique feature when looking at the seats. The seats are not constructed but carved into.
The kids we met in the siq earlier were resting there, so I went to sit with them. They were so curious about us so we got a group photo. It's so nice to be able to get to meet the locals when travelling.
The Monastery can be reached by climbing 800 steps, so donkey riders kept trying to get us on one from the Treasury all the way up to the Monastery.
But the girls behaved beutifully thanks to the promise I made earlier, 'only the ones who behave on the way up will get a donkey ride back!.
There was a cafe on the way where we sat to appreciate the view of the Urn Tomb in the front. It was also interesting looking at tourists from all over the world and their characteristics.
The sculpture on the cliff face is the Urn Tomb which was used as a church. The christianity here started in the 4th century AD as Roman empire accepted it then. Before christianity, the Nabateans belived in many gods and goddesses, so they had many temples in Petra to worship them.
El-Deir(the Monastery) is the biggest monument in Petra which was to worship the king Obodas 1 from the 1st century BC.Jebel Haroun where Aaron was buried is supposed to be out there somewhere. I felt as if I went back to the biblical times to be amongst them.
Ruby was finally giving in after all the climb she did, and she was clinging to Pete who was smiling all the way so impressed by the scenary.

While Ruby felt asleep at the cafe up in the Monastery, Pete and Ellie went further back with two other Korean backpackers we met earlier.
It looks so cool from behind where I didn't go as far.
Energizer Pete and Ellie.
Despite the long climb especially for the little legs she had, Ellie didn't hassle us to carry her at all. Absolutely amazing!
What a fabulous view!
