After our horse back ride up to the High Place we visited the place of sacrifice and then climbed down to see the Treasury and other sites.
This is a picture of the large theater off to the left and the archway that leads to the seating.
We enjoyed a really nice camel ride to the Treasury.
After getting home we watched "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", so we could show the kids that the places we have seen have even been in movies. Next we will watch Transformers which has the Monastery in it.
The detail on the Treasury was so incredible. Its a wonder that they had the tools to make such beautiful carvings in such a large scale.
The walk through the gorge was really neat, the walls were so huge they made you feel puny.
Along the sides of the gorge is the water system that was built to carry water into the heart of Petra.
