Ship docked in Aquaba and after 2 hours finally we reach Petra. Horses, dunkey, charriot were ready for the transportation but we prefer to walk for 2 km between the faboulous canyon with thousands of different coulour. This is called sik, the narrow walls rocky and couloured at the end a fantastic monuments called treasure is in front of me. Build from the rocky wall, still we don't know if it comes from the roman (71 dc) or from the nabeatan or hellinic period.
It is fantastic, unfortunately you can't go inside because dangerous.
It is so well maintened thanks to the canyon which repaired from the winds and from the millenium weather conditions. Discover in 1812, the inhabitants did not want to share this magnificent and precious archaelogical sites, but thanks to one French explorer i believe, actually i have not read yet the book which i bought, now thousands of visitors come here every day. Here are some pictures....
If you have the chance to go to Sharm, there are excursions which organize the visit instead to lie down and doing nothing, take the plane or the but and go to visit this incredible place.
Some pictures....
