Petra sunset
We had two evenings in Petra, both of which were magical, firstly for their sunsets, and secondly for the wonderful sound of the Imams calling evening prayers. It usually seemed to start from the mosque almost in front of here, with the traditional "Alah Akbar", which would then be answered by other mosques up and down the town, from near and far. It was a lovely sound and so suited the surroundings.
I believe one of those peaks in the distance is Jebel Haroun. Haroun is Arabic for Aaron, who was the brother of Moses and is said to have died and been buried there.
