Petra & Wadi Rum Desert

Petra – probably the most fascinating sight in Jordan. Petra is one of the seven new wonders of the world and inspires with its imposing architecture. The city was built by the Nabataean tribe more than 2000 years ago. Through the Siq, a 1.2km long gorge with up to 100m high rock walls, you can reach the interior of the mountains on foot or by horse-drawn carriage.First, you can see the breathtaking façade of the treasure house, called Al Khazneh. It is believed that gold, precious stones and other treasures were kept in this treasure house. Crowned by the urn on the top. The façade of the schatzhau is about 45m high and 30m wide and was built in the 1st century BC. It is believed that it was originally a tomb for a Nabataean king and was later used as a temple. In addition to many other sights in Petra, which you can not explore everything even during a one-week visit, there is the monastery – Al Deir. Around 800 steps lead up to the imposing building, which consists of 45x50m buildings. But there is so much more to discover, experience it for yourself!

WadiRum, the desert valley of the Bedouins, framed by brown-red, rugged and torn mountain ranges, will impress you. The mountains around wadi rum, which reach their highest heights with 1254 m (Jabal Rum), are made of granite and sandstone. This typical stone structure explains the large number of springs, especially in the narrower range of rum; Rainwater from winter precipitation slowly penetrates the porous sandstone, finally encounters the impermeable granite and flows off to the slope on this level; there springs rise, often dozens of meters above the valley floor. Therefore, it does not wound that already in the Neolithic age (from about 8000 BC) first peasant families cultivated the soil around the rock pieces.
