There is so much more to Petra than I ever thought!

Still can't believe I somehow managed to get this photo with no people in it! Needless to say, it was a hurried comp as more and more people poured out of the siq behind me - think it's a little close to the camels butt! There's so much luck with travel photography - it's a lot of fun but you have to have great patience, especially when you are trying to take landscape-type photographs and you are surrounded by throngs of people. Getting up really early is so your friend but it does take quite a bit out of you! It's also sometimes quite frustrating when many places don't open until 9 am. Fortunately the Petra gates open at 7 am :)

Petra was certainly the highlight of the trip - the more you explore the back trails, the more it grows on you! We spent about 8 hours exploring here. Went up to Al Deir in the morning (after coming through the Siq via the "Treasury" Al Kazneh and the main city complex) and then the High Place of Sacrifice in the afternoon as well as exploring the Royal Tombs. Most people are advised to do those two main sites the other way around so we are glad we did it that way to avoid most of the crowds and the lighting was still really good.
