Petra...one of the most incredible places I've ever been. The ancient city is full of massive monuments, tombs, and even an amphitheatre intricately carved into the sandstone 2000 years ago. The most well preserved is Al-Khazneh (the "Treasury") which is featured in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. We spent two days within Petra. The first day we hiked for 7 hours and never tired of the sandstone canyons and ancient tombs and palaces. On day two we went off the main paths and found our way to a cliff overlooking the Treasury for a birdseye view.
