Walking to the treasury for sunrise, playing with dogs, meeting friends from all around the world, admiring Petra by night, eating too much hummus and tabouleh, sleeping in the desert and floating in the Dead Sea was better than in my wildest dreams! I swear this was one of my favorite trips of all times.”  — Chiara Barrasso, December 2019
