  • 24 US and 25 International for me

  • Alan - are Taucktourians equivalent to Roman Centurions ?

    Virginia_Travelers - Here are some Roman Centurions and Taucktourians in Petra.


  • Smiling Sam - those are great photos! I think we saw the same Roman Centurions you did in Petra! But I noticed Tauckourians don't wear helmets.

  • They look more like Nabataeans to me.

  • BKMD - No, no, no this is a Nabataean.

    Should the Washington Post have included Petra and Nabataea on its' list of International cities? If so, we who have gone should all get two more checks.

    Oh, just rub it in why don'tcha!?!? :D

    Question for those lucky enough to have been to Petra- did anyone visit the relatively new (and free) Petra Museum located near the entrance to the site? If the timing works out, I would like to visit it the before or after dinner the afternoon/evening we arrive in Petra.

  • Great photos!

  • AlanS - I visited the museum when we left Petra, prior to returning to the hotel.





  • The Petra ruins are in the town (village? hamlet?) of Wadi Musa, which must be ecstatic about the resumption of tours, because there's nothing else within miles and miles of there (except Sam's museum).
