Day 107: In the port of Aqaba, Jordan. One of the highlights from this world voyage, if not ‘the’ highlight, was the Lost City of Petra, consider now as one of the new seven wonders of the World. . Anything you have read or watched about Petra can’t compare to be there to witness it by yourself. . It exceeded all expectations; from the impressively long and narrow passage entrance to the city called The Siq to the famous Treasury, an elaborate temple carved out of a sandstone rock face. . The Treasury might be the most famous sight in the area but it is just the start. The size of the place is enormous, it is spread out across several kilometres, and everywhere you look you will see temples and mausoleums carved on the rocks. It teleports you back in time. . A big part of the ruins of the city are still covered under the ground where hundreds of tourists, camels and donkeys pass every day. . Visiting Petra was a once-in-a-lifetime experience which I’ll definitely won’t forget. _______________________________________ Tags: #me #suitandtiefixation #petra #lostcity #lostcityofpetra #jordan #thesiq #camel #camels #donkey #donkeys #ruins #thetreasury
