We have been looking forward to visiting Petra in Jordan for months largely because it is a New Wonder of the World. And not only is it so worthy of it’s “wonder” title but we were genuinely blown away how vast it is and have found a new love for desert terrain! The Treasury is definitely a must see (but don’t feel you have to see it at night); Zara and I enjoyed a mini camel ride and we all took the trip back by horse and carriage (it was fun but also not something you “have to do” as you get thrown around a bit on the bumpy trail). What you must do though is hike in and around the sites – we were lucky to have our tour guide take us around the less visited spots and to his secret cave – which resulted in my favourite family photos of all time (sharing these in the next post)! Of all of the sites we have seen this is definitely in our top 5 – and a short trip that can be made even just for a long weekend…
