Petra is one of those places that I knew of but didn’t know a lot about. Most people (well at least from my generation) would know Petra from the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but kids of my generation were certainly not taught much about this part of the world in school (or maybe we were and I was staring out the window in that class.) More recently, Petra won a place on the list of the worlds New 7 Wonders. Having visited Chichen Itza last year and coming to the conclusion that it was wonderful, but not top 7 worthy, I made sure to keep the lid on expectations for Petra.
