I haven’t done too much travelling around the Middle East so far in my life, however there is one place I definitely do remember.
Petra is one of the great archaeological wonders of the world, featuring incredible structures cut from the beautiful rose and orange sandstone in the land and a remarkable water system from years past. It is believed to be the centre of the caravan trade in the Middle East; providing a hub for many traders from across the Eastern Peninsula to trade their goods. It is a famed world heritage sight, and one of the most popular destinations in the Middle East for tourists, backpackers, archaeologists, and the like.
You don’t see much of Petra in the long trek to the ‘temple’, however when you near it you certainly feel like you’re peering through a hole in time. Admiring the ruins from afar and up close, while walking down the exact same path as numerous traders have before you, is truly breathtaking.
