Jordan, Day 2: The road to Petra

Visited the old crusader castle at Shubak. While the castle is just ruins today, the location is excellent, with dramatic views over the surrounding valleys. The brown hills mixing with green vegetation and crisp blue skies were very scenic.


From there, to Little Petra, which is far less visited that the main part of Petra. It's just like you imagine it to be; a narrow slit valley with buildings carved into the rocks. The landscape is otherworldly and amazing.
