Petra, now a wonder!

Petra Travel Blog › entry 4 of 5 › view all entries

Mi mamá y hermana están de paseo por Israel 2 semanas... veremos que hacemos juntos en los fines de semana. My mother and sister are in Israel for 2 weeks. I hope to visit with them, but i think it will be just the weekends.

Petra, now a wonder!

Se puede decir que mi vieja se fue hace un tiempo ya, se siente. De todas maneras, aprovechando un cambio de días en el laburo, me llevé a mi hermana a Petra. Yo ya estube antes, pero ella no. Al viaje se prendió Luciana.

Viajamos en auto hasta la frontera en Eilat, sin ningún incidente,  sellitos en los pasaportes, pago de entradas y salidas en ambos paises, y cruzamos a pata una frontera que nos hacía acordar a la frontera con Bolivia en Salta, por el calor, y cómo se comporta la gente en esas temperaturas. Creo que salvando la banderita, y la foto del Rey de Jordania, no hubieron muchas diferencia.

Apenas cruzamos, conseguimos un taxi que nos llevó a Petra directo, no se si fue buen precio, pero nos trató bien y el Mercedes se portó de lujo.
Para recordar, el teléfono de Osama Al Amayreh 00962 795056601.

Que se puede decir. El desierto es hermoso. No se puede describir. Para quien no haya estado alguna vez en un desierto... bueno, que lo haga, vale la pena.

En cuanto a Petra, no por nada es una de las maravillas del mundo. Aunque puedo decir, qeu nada maravilla como la primera vez. O sea... por mi punto de vista, era mas lindo antes de ser una de las maravillas del mundo, votadas por internet... (que es si una maravilla que trata de acercarnos a todos).
Fuera de eso que se puede decir, que viajar en Ramadán, no es la mejor idea que se tiene. Todos los bares y restaurantes abren sólo de 19 a 22 con suerte, y en el hotel no nos dieron desayuno por la misma razón. Menos mal que teníamos el mate y un paquete de galletitas saladas para pasar el rato.

Supongo que en un rato, después de ducharme, y ver las fotos, publique algunas para el mundo... que supongo que no seré en este caso el primero en hacerlo... así que será mas familiar, con algunas fotos de gente... (para quien no sabe, no soy muy amante de las fotos paisajistas con personas estorbando).

english version.

My mother went away some days ago. Changing some days at work, i took my sister to Petra. I was there before, but she wasn't. Also Luciana, a friend, came with us.

We travel in my car to Eilat, without incidents, get the stamp in the pass, in and out of both countries, and we cross the border that remembered me of the border with Bolivia from Salta, because of the heat, and the behaviour of the people in that temperatures.

I think tha if not for the flag and the picture of the King of Jordan, there were not so many differences.

Just in the border we get a taxi to Petra direct, I don't know if it was a good price, but it was a good services, they took us in a nice Mercedes. Just to remeber, the telefon of Osama Al Amayreh 00962 795056601.

What can I say, the dessert is beautiful. It can not be described. For the ones that wheren't there sometime... well, just do it, it's worth it.
Petra, not for nothing is one of the new wonders of the world. But I can say, that nothing is so marvellous as it was the first time. In my point of view, it was more beautiful before becoming one of the wonders.

Out of that, I can say that travelling in Ramadan is not the best idea. All the bars and restaurants open only between 19 and 22 if you are lucky, and in the hotel we didn't get breakfast for the same reason. At least we had some mate and cookies.
I already put some photos, some very similar of the photos of hundred of other peopel, but some for my family.

The first thing to say, is that the owner was very helpful, and nice. We arrive there, he took us to Petra and back whith a telephon call. When we arrive to Petra Park, he asked if we have JD (dinars) to pay for the park entrance, when we said that we just have dollars, he gave us 100JD to have. :) He didn't know us! That all, it's a must why you don't care afterwards if the hotel is 10 dollars more or less than another one.
The shower wasn't so good, but it was OK.
The big minus for me is that it haven't got an air conditioner or even a ventilator. ...
