Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ, Ancient Greek Πέτρα) is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an, that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.
Established possibly as early as 312 BCE as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as its most-visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor) in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". Petra was chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the "28 Places to See Before You Die."
We were just at the passport check...when I spotted this boy. I decided to take a photo of him. He was so poor but still with such a charming smile.

Photo was made in Beduin village. Under the only green tree were two kids, a boy and his sister. As soon as they saw any tourists they were running towards them with their arms open. On their face was shining such a sincere smile you rarely see on a face of our kids. It surprizes me how our kids that have everything can be so unhappy and how happy can be beduin kids that have alwost nothing.
They were running towards us asking for something, I checked all my pockets, couldn't find anything sweet, just found a business card someone gave me a day before on the street. You should have seen how happy those kids were and how amazingly they were staring at the card smiling...
