Petra,
' a rose-red city, half as old as time,' is in the middle-eastern country
of Jordan, an Arab monarchy, and one of the friendliest countries on
the planet - despite some quite barking neighbours. Petra is an ancient
wonder of stunning grandeur and beauty set in an arid rockscape.
Rose Macaulay wrote in Pleasure of Ruins: 'If ever a dead city
held romance it is Petra....hewn out of ruddy rock in the midst of a
mountain wilderness, sumptuous in ornament and savage in environs, poised
in wildness like a great carved opal glowing in a desert, this lost
caravan city staggers the most experienced traveller.' Right. And staggeringly
difficult to get evocative pictures of the place too, it covers such
a large area. See what I mean...
