- Experience diving in the Red Sea
- Visit the impressive Petra
- Have fun floating on the Dead Sea
Here are some pictures:
| Our lovely hotel: Bedouin Garden Village |
| I enjoyed the relaxing and colourful atmosphere |
| The beach in front of the hotel, from which we dived and admired reefs and tropical fish |
| Petra's outskirt - the Obelisk tomb combining Egyptian and Greco-Roman influences |
| The Siq - Narrow gorge formed from a deep split in the sandstone rocks |
| That's the way! |
| The first glimpse of the Treasury |
| The Treasury - called so because the Bedouins believed the urn sculpted at the top contained great treasures; its original purpose is still unclear |
| The sandstone has stunning natural colours and patterns |
| Rock-cut chambers (excavating solid rock) |
| With a view over the facing mountain |
| Palace Tomb with its four rooms (for burial) |
| View over the Great Temple and valley |
| The Street of Facades (burial rooms) |
| First of 800 steps leading to the Monastery |
| View over the neighbouring cliffs on our way up |
| The Monastery - 50 meters high (see the people by the doorway for size reference) |
| View over the canyon, looking South |
| View over the canyon, looking West |
| The Great Temple was one of the largest buildings (not dug from the mountain) |
| Approaching the Dead Sea |
| Our modern interpretation of the famous picture with a magazine (Kindle) |
| Salt crystallization on the shore |
