“First hours of the day, one of the 7 wonders of the modern world in front of us and an absolute silence that was lost as the first Bedouins arrived with their camels. A unique moment that will remain in our minds forever.” - Paula, September 2019
“One of my absolute favourite experiences this year was exploring Petra in Jordan in The Middle East. When I got my first glimpse of The Treasury I actually skipped with excitement 🙈 I went 3 times in 2 days and still didn’t see everything there is to see in Petra. It gets super busy during the day, so I recommend getting there early and being the first in when the gates open. It will feel like you have the whole place to yourself for the first few hours. Be prepared for a lot of walking as Petra is huge!” - Tahnee, December 2019
