I’d like to say we woke up around 6AM Thursday morning, but
the truth is we weren’t ever truly asleep.
It was still windy as all get out, but a gentle breeze compared with

The camp was a shambles, but our Bedouin hosts still laid out…

It was once again an early rise to go to Petra at dawn. This time Alessandro had joined us for an alternative route into the lost city. Obviously if you visit Petra only for a day, there is only way route into the city, and that is via the Siq. Period. It's one of the coolest things you'll…

Back in Amman, the hostel that I stayed had arranged private excursion to Madaba. I was planning to overnight in Madaba because there were quite a few things to do and to see in the north part of Jordan. One of them was floating in the Dead Sea. In the morning Yousef the taxi driver agreed for 20 D…

Before I came to Petra I was told it would be an amazing sight but to go there as early as possible because of the heat. Furthermore I had heard everyone going there would come back broken because of hiking all day in the heat and the sun burning down from the sky. I got to Petra…
