Traveling to great destinations remain as one of the guilty pleasures that I can't seem to let go of. When my group of friends and I managed to squeeze in a couple of days free for vacation, the first thing we did was to book a flight to Jordan, which is, admittedly, an unchartered territory for me.
Yes, I may have remembered a thing or two about the place but there's no question that our plane trip to the Middle East was one enveloped by an air mystery that is, of course, both good and nerve-wracking. Without a clue of what to expect, we went to Jordan and we were amazed about the kind of beauty we were given a chance to see. From the Rose Red City, to the City of Mosaics to the Siq, Jordan and Petra simply imprinted irreplaceable memories of beauty and lovely scenery. But more than that, the trip was a form of spiritual revelry of sorts.
Am I coming back to see what
UNESCO certified as a
World Heritage Site? Of course! And if I'm lucky, maybe that time I'd get to see Indiana Jones in action.
