May 15, 2024,🇯🇴 Petra - Wanderung zum Opferplatz ⛰🏛🧐

This morning we went to the sacrificial site above the rock city of Petra. We hiked along rocky paths with great views and had a great view ⛰ of the rock city. The way back took us past the Treasury 🏛 again and back through the gorge. A great hike 🤩🤩🤩
