Been in Jordan...

Some trips seem easy and other trips require continuing prayer all the way. God takes us all the way no matter where we are going. On a trip to Jordan about three weeks before the Iran war we were touring some of the old Roman sites of Ammon, Jordan, Mt. Nebo and Petra. Ammon, Jordan is only about 100 miles from Jerusalem so we were safely guarded while in Jordan. Tourism is the the economy of Jordan and The Middle East for that fact. I'm always disspointed when a historical site has building built on the site and the real Nebo has been hidden as Moses saw the mountain except this one time when we had to walk in dangerous winds which were 30 plus miles per hour where we took shelter in the historical buildings. Nebo was where Moses saw the promised land but never entered because he was already there. Mt. Nebo overlooks the Jordan River. Jordan is terrain is all desert except on the banks of the river. We traveled onto Petra, where the iconic Indiana Jones, the Last Crusade film was filmed. We walked the canyon to get to the Treasury. The Indiana Jones movies shows some parts of the inside of the Treasury which has now been closed due to parts of the inside showing wear from tourist.

"Petra is an ancient rock-cut city in southern Jordan, famous for its stunning architecture and water conduit systems. It was the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World." Wikipedia
