From the High Place, we took a different route to get back down from the mountain, bypassing more varied scenery RIGHT Sam and Kathy walk down a path leading away from the High Place BELOW An enclosed building carved out of the side of a mountain BELOW RIGHT The 'Lion Monument'... though I thought it looked more like a ram. |

ABOVE Mountains... and more mountains (ABOVE RIGHT) from the lookout point near the Monastery, separating us from Israel. Talal tells us there is still an old caravan route in the area that leads to Israel. Apparently some Israelies occasionally make the difficult journey here in order to get a glimpse of Petra. RIGHT Walking back towards the Monastery and (BELOW) back to the 'city centre' of Petra. BELOW RIGHT The Collonaded Street of the city centre leading to the Royal Tombs |
