Thank you so much for posting these fantastic pictures. I was in Petra last October but because of a physical handicap, did not go far beyond the treasury. Because of your wonderful gift of photos, I now feel that my visit is complete.

My wife and I just returned from a trip to Amman Jordan. What a wonderful place. We visited Petra which deserves to be one of the ancient wonders of the world. We took many pictures but lost them all when they were downloaded onto a disc by a Kodak Store in Amman. It was great to find all these pictures which make up for the loss of our photos.Thank You.
Petko Draganov 23-Nov-2007 15:35
Great stuff! I am just back from there and yuo made me relive a wonderful experience. Thank you.
P. Tymas 21-Nov-2007 20:25
I missed this amazingly beautiful site back in 1999 and vowed my next trip to Israel would include Petra, Jordan. Just returned October 26, 2007 and am so glad I made it a priority on my 17 day vacation. I did not take enough pictures though I only spent one day there. I too hope to go back and see more.
Marilyn Hansen 06-Nov-2007 14:54
Just got back, and while i have dozens of pics, it was wonderful to have yours as well adding to the memories. A not-to-be-missed place of wonder.

I Would Like to Vot for Petra
Hiba Al-Ali 04-Feb-2007 00:53
Congratulations Mansour for this unique and exquisite portfolio of Petra pics. Your mastery of photography and artistic talent are revealed by your ability to capture the (unphotogenic, pic-illusive)beauty, charm, and grandeur of Petra. Having visited Petra several times and having stood (each and every time) with owe at its various sites -- and not only its mostly depicted symbol "The Treasury" -- I have constantly been disappointed by the pics and images used to promote this breathtaking city. Your porfolio brings to life all of Petra's sites and ruins and comes as a much needed breath of fresh air. Bravo! I have included your portfolio in a "Vote for Petra as New7Wonders" promotion e-mail and I wish others would do the same. Again Bravo!
Heloisa Helena 30-Jan-2007 04:20
Petra is so beautiful, someday I want to visit these wonderful place!
Since I was kid I had interest in these place & I remember that I watched movies like Sinbad & the eye of the tiger & Indiana Jones & the last cruzade which appear Petra, I always been fascinating, principally by The Treasury! ;)
Excuse my bad english
bye & greetings from Brazil
David 17-Jan-2007 03:19
In looking at these pictures, I am reminded of a place I visited, Chechin Itza just outside of Cancun, Mexico. What a magnificent place! This place must be just like it from what I see in these photos! I pray this amazing place becomes a "wonder of the world"! I have an ulterior motive. I want to visit this place!

I've never been to Petra yet and never did i imagine that there is such wondrous place on earth...i'm so amazed with the structures...words are not enough to describe Petra...i bet people will agree with me that Petra should be voted as one of the seven wonders of the world...To the person who posted these amazing pictures, I truly thank you for taking the time and giving me the experience...i haven't seen the real thing yet, but I know i'm missing a lot...if given the chance, I'll definitely visit Petra
sophia 07-Jan-2007 22:44
I have never been to this place and I never imagined that there is such place in this world that can leave you breathless just by simply looking at the picture...i wonder how it feels like to see the real thing...if given a chance, I'll surely visit Petra...thanks for the wonderful trip

Cissy 22-Jul-2006 03:43
May God grant that all the HORRIBLE things happening in Lebanon/israel NOT reach this magnificent, wonder of the world, simply incredible Rose City. Thank you for the fantastic 'trip' through it that YOU gave me. Have always wanted to be there. Have studied it relentlessly.....simply, I am in love with Petra. Again, Thank You! ! !
Allan Panek 14-Jul-2006 06:38
Wonderful photographs that capture the mystery of this fantastic capsule in time.
Having been to Petra and seeing the extremely well preserved remains is an unforgettable experience. Though in the bright light of the day one can imagine the city with its former inhabitants, but in the late afternoon it is an eerie place full of the ghosts of its many tombs. Go to Petra...see its remains, but sit down for a moment and close your eyes and savour the atmosphere of this unique place.
Thumper 12-Jul-2006 03:39
Going to Petra this fall and although I was excited about visiting this spot before, I am in awe now after seeing your beautiful pictures, and can't wait
Khaled Al-Fouri 21-Jun-2006 00:11
Many thanks for this fantastic gallery of my lovely country Jordan, many friends of mine here in England they decided to visit Jordan when they saw these amazing pics.

I keep your gallery on my AOL toolbar, as I love to look at them. I was on the ACOR excavation five years ago when we uncovered the blue marble columns in pieces and haven't been back since. With your photos, I finally get to see the columns standing. Bravo!

We visited Jordan last October and we were impressed by the beauty of this land and its friendly people. Your photo's brought back my memories to our travel through Jordan.
Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely a wonderful gallery of pics. I was first planning to take a group of 40 doctors to Petra/Jordan but now I am convinced that with your pics that this is definitely a "must-see" for us to personally capture in the mind the beautiful scenes of Petra..

Mansour, remarkable photographs of a unique site. I voted for this gallery, of course. If you have a moment, please stop by my small galleries and look around. Would appreciate any comments or a vote if you think anything warrants it. Sincerely, Ellsworth
Mannie Guevara 05-Apr-2005 05:07
I have been to Jordan in 1995 and charmed by the country and its people. I love your gallery, it brought back fond memories of my trip to Jordan. My only suggestion is for you to identify ALL the pictures you post in the gallery, that way, I could remember what the names of the places and monuments are.

Thank you for your very beautiful gallery.
Haroun Rababaah 05-Feb-2005 23:55
Hi,
I am a Jordanian and currently live in USA. Although I’ve been to PETRA, but I was amazed with your collection, you were able to capture the greatness and the historic depth of that mysterious city. On behalf of the Jordanian people, and the community here in South Bend, IN, I would like to express my great thanks to you and your efforts to teach the world about PETRA.

Haroun Rababaah.

hi mansour,

as you know i am still planning an 'anti-gravity' choreographic film to be shot in Petra in 2005. Just had a look at every single one of your beautiful pictures and want to thank you for your generosity in posting them on the web, since they are my source of inspiration!

my website is: www.infinito.org.uk
Pia 22-Nov-2004 19:18
WOW!!! What a collection of pictures! I visited Petra last month and looking through your gallery is just like relived the trip once again. Thank you for the great pictures.
Ulrich 17-Nov-2004 11:07
Great shots - and a perfect preparation to our planned trip to Jordan by the end of this year !
Steve 09-Nov-2004 00:07
I've been reading the "Left Behind" books and I am currently reading "Armageddon" which describes the Siq and heavily references Petra as a place of refuge. It is magnificent and humbling to now have the true images of these places rather than the poor constructs of my imagination. Thanks so much for such a fine gallery!
Ed 31-Oct-2004 06:04
I like your gallery very much. Very nice pictures, but how come you don't have any internal picture of Petra?
JV 12-Oct-2004 11:39

Karl Jeffs 17-Sep-2004 04:47
Wow, great shots Mansour, I've always wanted to go to Petra and your photos have inspired me more. Thanks.

Great series of photos,
makes me want to go there even more many thanks.
Mansour Mouasher 10-Mar-2004 05:10
Image # 0022 representing the top of the Deir is probably the oldest photo in my collection. It was taken in the early 1980's using Nikon F2 with a Nikkor 16mm Fisheye lens, and recorded on a 35mm Kodakrome 64 slide. The stairway leading to the top of the Deir was open for the public at that time. The slide was eventually scanned using Epson 2450 scanner, and edited with Paint Shop Pro before uploading.
Seadeuce 10-Mar-2004 01:09
Excellent shots! Bring back happy memories!!
HOW did you get to take 0022?????
I tried to get up to the top of Ed Deir, but the security guy stopped me every time.

I have your site bookmarked for my viewing pleasure.
Many thanks,
Nigel
