The road to petra

A camel and lady not much left because of the wind

It looks okay at first. Little did we know!

Looks like somebody added doors everywhere

Every great monument should have a great entrance

We keep walking

And walking!!!

This looks familiar. Have I seen it in the movies?

From Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Upon closer inspection the entire building

is carved out of the rock. It is hard to imagine!

Time to go inside

Everything is carved out of solid rock

No room for error!

Makes for great wallpaper

We climb to the top and look down on a Roman amplitheater. It is carved in the side of the mountain

We thought our day was done. We found it quickly that it takes 2-3 days to see everything

By far this place has the most impressive craftsmanship we have seen!

Everything is carved out of solid rock.

When the Roman's took over they built a great road

The road is still in great shape

We climb to the top for great views of the valley below

The only building in the area built to handle Earthquakes

Not too many statues but this one looks familiar

They found a church with great mosaic floors

Not much left

Main street Petra
