My trip to Petra

I love historic places like Petra in Jordan.

It dates to around 300 BCE, so it is more than 2.000 years old!

You must buy a ticket to visit, but when you are inside, you can walk for a long way throught the old city and the views from some of the higher places are awesome, but you must be careful.

Our guide explained how old the temples are: they are really ancient.

I really enjoyed our day there and recommend a visit.
