This is the starting point... it is already 3pm. Can I make it and back?
|
| They say it takes 45 minutes and best be done in the morning... but this is approaching sunset...
|
| The path was steep and long, not for the faint-hearted if you have already been to the Monastery in the morning!
|
| On the way up there was nobody, so felt a bit spooky and not sure if I was on the right path

Now this guy is dying to reach the highest place for sacrifice... no, that doesn't look the correct way though...
|
| Near the top there is a cafe and a shop with no one around!
|
| This is as close to the top as I could find but I could not find the altar!
|
| After all these sacrifices of your sweat and energy, you will be rewarded with magnificant views of Petra and around

It offers a spectacular view of the Royal Tombs below
|
| Another good look of the royal tombs when I come down
|
| It is amazing how they cut the steps out of nowhere...
|
| On the way down, finally saw someone
