Petra - the Camel ride back up to the Treasury

When it was time to head back up the canyon we paid to ride a camel as far as the treasury, if you watch the video at the end you will see that it was a fun but bouncey ride.














The video below shows our camel ride at Petra and at Mount Sinai.
Enjoy

Petra - the lower ruins

Down the canyon from the Treasury there are more ruins, we may have only seen a little over half of them.

Several of the pictures below are of an area called "Street of Facades".




Jaffa's shopping.






The gal in the two pictures below spotted me taking her picture, so she demanded that I buy one of her necklaces, we had already bought some so I told her I would give her a $1 for the picture I had taken and an additional $1 if she would pose for a picture.




The Theater.



The Urn Tomb.















Colorful sand stone ceiling in the Urn Tomb.



Shot of more ruins that we didn't get down to, beyond these and on top of the bluffs is an old monastary that would have been cool to see.
