Petra in Jordan

Petra is a city along a gorge, the dwellings are actually caves; Petra in Latin means rock.
It has a fascinating history.
​Wikipedia explains it well
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra

​There is a plaza somewhere in the middle of the gorge, where I could buy batteries for my camera!! …Otherwise you would not see my pictures.

​The Romans used the city to collect taxes from caravans passing through the gorge, and they had official buildings… well, still a cave, but Roman-like façade.

At the end of the gorge there is an amphitheatre built by the Romans. We missed by few days a show here, a tribute to Pavarotti.

Note: there are still some people living around, but if you want to take a picture of a passing lady, you need to pay, and I had only a credit card with me; do not do that mistake if you plan to visit, the local girl I missed to catch on camera was gorgeous.
