“What a day! Out of all my trips, I would say this is the most memorable ever so far! Jordan is such an amazing and interesting country. Even though it was just a one day tour, I believe it’s enough to see and soak in some Petra, Jordan, especially if you’re on a tight schedule like we were. I suggest getting some good sleep before this tour because you will be absolutely tired after this tour but it was so worth it. Just seeing The Treasury, was worth the whole experience! If you get a chance, I really suggest getting a pic from the top of the hill where you…”
