Jordan - Via the backdoor to Petra

Having won a travelogue writing competition in a national newspaper, I accepted the prize, along with the other winner, to visit Jordan and make a trip report for the newspaper. Although I was not the official photographer, I packed my camera. After a multi-day hike through the national park of Dana we went inside the ancient city of Petra through the backdoor. October 2014
