This morning walk will take 1to 2 hours to reach El Deir this "monastery" located at the complete opposite side of the regular entrance of the Petra city area.

Aqaba is well known for its beach resorts and luxury hotels, which service those who come for fun in the sand as well as watersports like windsurfing & scuba diving. This is not really the place I like but it was time to relax for a day after visiting two famous places (and so different) of Jordan : the city of Petra and the Wadi Rum desert. Al `Aqabah, Jordan Pierre_dm Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:02:35 +0100 http://www.hereorthere.com/members/pierre_dm/experience/1403 http://www.hereorthere.com/experiences/1403 Starting a new year in this beautiful environment was a wonderful experience. Backpacking and camping in the Wadi Rum is probably the best way to discover this National Park. If you are not looking for hot weather or extended daylight, January is a good time to go there. We had sunny days with about 18C (65 F) and night temperature just around 0C (32F). When the sun declines at about 5 PM it is time to set-up the fire and prepare the tea. Welcome into the bedouin world. Wadi Rum, Jordan Pierre_dm Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:13:06 +0100 http://www.hereorthere.com/members/pierre_dm/experience/1377 http://www.hereorthere.com/experiences/1377
