We stayed in this quaint place in Petra. The owners were great! They even bought us breakfast the one day! Anyways we got to Petra rather late the first night after almost getting lost several times coming from the dead sea. The drive should of only took 3 hours and even with a gps we got lost and took us over 5. A road was closed that we were supposed to take which pretty much messed it all up.
We spent just one day at Petra. We literally tried to do everything during this time. We did a lot of hiking and climbing stairs but it was totally worth it. The place was just amazing. I cannot believe the definition into the rocks / mountains. Actually the city was built in the mountain. The mountain colors really reminded me of Phoenix area. They were that beautiful reddish color! This Midwest girl still loves her mountains! After 7 hours of hiking and climbing stairs and walking very fast we were so tired we went back to the hotel and slept for a few hours!
We stayed the 2nd night in Petra and then woke up in the morning very slowly (a bit sore) but yes we finally managed to leave around 10 and drive to Aqaba. Aqaba is literally right on the Red Sea and is bordered by Saudi , Israel and Egypt! How awesome to be so close to all of these countries!!!! We didn't do too much in Aqaba but just relax and check out the souq and smoke shisha.
The next day we drove to Amman which took about 3.5 hours. The drive was boring but manageable. We were flying out the next morning to Abu Dhabi. We went to the mall in Amman so that I could buy a small backpack as my prior bag was getting tired! We went back to the room and then went to the gym and relaxed for the evening.
I really love Jordan. Honestly cannot wait to come back here!!
