This will be a shorter post ("Thank goodness!" I can hear you saying, "We just read 3,000 words about a freezing cave masquerading as a hotel."), but I wanted to highlight another of the drives we took in Jordan, and the site of "Little Petra," which is less-visited than the larger complex just a few…

Thank you for trip update, looking at the pictures dont you feel the vibe from indiana jones movie
I can't believe you went down that road. I might not have, but since one of the hosts was all about it, maybe I would have as well. Pretty bold. But isn't that always how you get the best tips? Being pleasant guests to the staff always seems to pay off in fun trips like this. Little Petra looked amazing as well. Thanks for the pics.
Great trip report, Tiffany.
There's also another little Petra in Saudi Arabia, called Mada'in Saleh. It too has a narrow gorge (the Nabateans must really have had a thing for natural passageways).
We took the "Road Closed"down from Little Petra to Dead Sea. It was fun. At one stage we were overtaken by a beaten up car which later stopped by the roadside and 3 Bedouin got their prayer rugs out and started praying. Not sure if it was the prayer time or they were just thankful for making it!
Great report! Enjoyed reading and seeing the unique pictures. Keep them coming (Petra etc.)!
Well, I, for one, enjoyed reading all 3000 words about you freezing in the ecolodge 😉
OMG! I am so inspired! I'm not even a desert person, but climbing around those rocks, stairs and ancient cave dwellings looks amazing!
Did you say your husband took the photos? If so, please thank him for me; or thanks to whomever for all the amazing photos!!!
Love reading your stories and your taste in trips!!
What's not to LOVE? Feel great sorrow for people that have nothing to do but count words. Each one of yours are golden. In your copious free time, you should write an adventure book. You have made an old, very handicapped man very happy- I used to be a field biologist chasing carnivores. Hint: find out if the area you are exploring has a law that states the vehicle going UP the road has the right-away over the one going DOWN. I live in Colorado and some wonder "roads" have a granitic wall on one side and a drop off to a river on the other. Clearance is (I have it by the best authority) 7.5 cm on both sides. It is a mecca for side view mirror collectors..
