travel zen on friday: petra (monastery)

The Monastery.

While Mr. Sazy Rock took this amazing picture of the Monastery in Petra, I was trying hard to break my fever. Lucky for me, I still experienced the magnificence of Petra the day before.

travel zen on friday: wadi rum

T.E. Lawrence was a British officer whose legendary exploits around World War I was immortalized on screen as Lawrence of Arabia. The real Lawrence likely hung around Wadi Rum in Jordan. Many parts of the film were definitely filmed in this beautiful desert area.

This is a picture of a massive rose colored sand dune, blue skies and Mr. Sazy Rock. Happy Friday, everyone!

travel zen on friday: petra through the siq

Petra is an amazing sight to behold. Aside from all the Nabatean history and the splendid architecture, visiting this UNESCO Heritage sight gives you that satisfying feeling of reaching the temple that housed the Holy Grail (that's for the Indiana Jones fans out there). 

Below is a picture of the Treasury from the Siq, a long narrow canyon.
