After, we descend to the Roman Theatre, in the heart of Amman to see the traditional clothes museum.
Later this morning we carry on travelling south, just as traders, armies and pilgrims have done before us, along the impressive 5,000-year-old King's Highway to Kerak. Imposingly situated on a rocky outcrop next to the road and containing a maze of stone-vaulted halls and passageways, this ancient Crusader stronghold is the most famous among a chain of fortresses built for the Holy War against Islam.
Tonight we stay in Dana camp, in the heart of Dana Reserve where Bedouins used to camp before the conservation of the reserve. This place is operated by locals who used to be hunters, shepherd and wood collectors.

Wadi Dana is the most important geological aspect in the Dana nature reserve. Its great canyon joins the rift valley through the Feynan desert (mentioned in the Bible as Fyenan). This nature dates back for thousands of years as Feynan is the oldest sight for copper mining (4600 BC). It’s a very colorful day where you come across Bedouin families who still practice this mystical lifestyle and where you can see their scattered goat herds.

The first Nabatean's carved monument we're going to see is the Monastery, a hilltop temple, the largest structure in Petra. Requires a strenuous trek up 800 stairs, with plenty of tranquil spots along the way to rest and admire the views. Then, we head to the Street of Facades, this row of more than forty tombs and other structures lining the cliff walls of the Outer Siq is noteworthy because a few of the tombs are easily accessible. After this, Royal Tombs are our next destination, a collection of particularly large and ornate tombs, thought to be reserved for monarchs and high-level aristocracy. Qasr al-Bint, one of the only free-standing buildings in Petra, this imposing temple was once the primary Nabatean place of worship. Colonnaded Street which is Petra's main drag, is the next. Theater, this huge, Hellenic-style amphitheater near the Street of Facades has a capacity for 8,500 people and was built before the Roman occupation in the first century AD. Treasury will be at the end of the Siq, you'll be welcomed to Petra by The Treasury, a towering and impeccably preserved example of Nabatean rock-cut architecture.
