Jordan is a great place with a bit of everything: scenery, history, monuments… I again came back with a huge quantity of photos. Today I am narrowing down to my 7 best shots from my week in Jordan (well, my favorites at least).

1. Discovery of the Petra Treasury
Why I love this photo
It translates the feeling I had, arriving at the end of the Sig and getting the first peek at the majestic facade of the Treasury
The location behind
The Siq is the long gorge that leads to the hidden city of Petra. The Treasury is at the end. It is the most famous Monument of the site.

2. Kites of Amman
Why I love this photo
It really represents Amman with the square buildings on a steep hill ad a kite surf flying on top of that. So typical of this city!
The location behind
This was taken from the Citadel on the hill in the middle of the Jordan capital, Amman

3. A very hot country!
Why I love this photo
The position of the camel enjoying the sun is how I felt while in Jordan: simply stop and asborb the heat!
The location behind
This camel was working at the Petra site, I enjoyed looking at them although I did not ride them
4. The Treasury from above
Why I love this photo
angle angle angle. I can't believe I did this hike to reach a natural platform with this view!
The location behind
Deviating from the Madras Trail there is a path going into a "gorge" all the way to the Treasury.

5. Jerash: old and new
Why I love this photo
The contrast of the old ruins in the front and the new town of Jerash in the back. Plus I was all alone to admire those ruins!
The location behind
Jerash is a a roman site with many interesting ruins including columns, temples and 2 theaters. It stands in the middle of the mordern city of Jerash.

6. Camping in the Dana Nature Reserve
Why I love this photo
It shows the remoteness of the camping site and the crazy rock formations of the Dana Nature Reserve. I loved every minute of my time there.
The location behind
The Dana Nature Reserve is located in the South of Jordan. It has a deep gorge, many hiking trails and wildlife I sadly did not spot.

7. Contrasts of Wadi Rum
Why I love this photo
The deep colors and the contrast of the soft sand and the hard rock mountains of the Widi Rum desert. The person and the 4WD give me a longing for adventure.
The location behind
Wadi Rum is a stunning and colorful desert in the South of Jordan.
