Tourists and columns, Petra

The ancient city of Petra is Jordan’s most popular tourist destination, although not sure how many people are visiting it these days, with all the problems in the region.

Nature’s artistry, Petra’ posted earlier:

Nicely composed and beautiful clarity.

Very nice perspective from this POV, as much as the columns make the people walking alongside look small, the huge mountain of rocks in the background make everything else look small ... V

Nicely captured with great sense of scale. Tourism must be highly impacted. V

In case anyone wants to visit now in 2024, I found this info: "Yes, tourists are still visiting Petra, Jordan. Petra is generally considered safe to visit in 2024. The site is part of the Petra National Park, managed by the Jordanian government, which takes extra precautions to ensure visitor safety1. However, like any popular tourist destination, it’s wise to be aware of petty crimes such as theft and scams. Jordan itself is a stable country, although it is located in a region with some instability. The remote location of Petra helps insulate it from broader regional issues1,"

Great shot Helen. We were in Petra in 1999. I need to scan some of those images. What an amazing place it is. ~BV~

a different aspect of Petra that adds further to its appeal...yes, the current troubles in the region would be a deterrent to the wise traveler..
