Passing through the Sikh, we emerged, looking upon the facade of the Treasury, rising high above us. The rose-colored rock-cut building marks the entrance to the lost Nabatean city of Petra.
Feeling much like the explorer who disguised himself as a Bedouin to discover the secret, the treck through the narrow gorge which rises 80 meters above head itself was spectacular. And the reward was awe-inspiring. The Treasury was only the first of the many architectural wonders of this centuries old site.
Meanwhile, Jordan offers much more, from the Roman ruins we explored at Jerash, to the Ottoman Village where we stayed, from the delicious ice cream we tasted in Amman, to the mud baths we took before floating in the Dead Sea.

Hello Lowiczanka
Am planning a quick get-away to Jordan and I is sheer coincidence that I chanced upon your blog. Thank you for the photographs. Beautiful indeed.
Could you share your travel itinerary and the hotel details with me please? Would be helpful for my planning. My mail id is adsumdev@gmail.com
Thanx in advance

I traveled with Joy Travel International. Here is their typical Jordan itinerary:
http://www.joytravelinternational.com/jordan.htm
Note that it mentions the Taybet Zamman Hotel. It is an old Ottoman village. Very cute, up in the hills.
Not mentioned in this itinerary is an afternoon spent by the Dead Sea. There was a Spa there, but we made our own mud baths and swam (floated) about.
Beautiful pictures!
Great pictures, great place. I want to go there.
these are remarkable pictures you took!!! looks like you had a lot of fun and the buildings are so beautiful…congrats on fp’ed
Nice!! I was in Petra the day Jordan opened it’s border with Israel in the mid 90’s..Well, actually we didn’t make it as there was a very bad car accident and we ended up spending 3 days in a Jordanian military hospital..I went back a few years later..I live in Tel Aviv..My grandparents are from Lodz and Warsaw:) Keep writing!!

You’ve captured the greatness of these buildings so well! I can’t imagine the impressiveness of them in person. I think I would be in eternal awe of such structures. Thank you for sharing your images.
Nice pics. The first one caught the pink shade so beautifully.
Referring to Petra, I found this a long time ago: “Match me such a marvel save in Eastern clime, a rose red city half as old as time.“ -Dean Burgeon-

Hi Lowiczanka,
Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos. They bring back fond memories. I have been to Jordan, 14 or 15 times. Always for work, but I made sure to find days to visit Petra or Jerash or the Dead Sea or other places. Amman is one of my favourite cities, not because it is beautiful – most of it is actually rather drab – but because of the warmth and hospitality of the people. Jordanians are wonderful.
Cheers!
PS – I visited Poland for the first time last year (Poznan) and the Poles were just as warm. They are like Slavic Arabs!
PSS – Sorry I could not get the correct first letter of your name in this message. I know that it is pronounced like a “w” in English.
I’m happy you enjoyed my country 🙂
