Two photos of Jebel Um el Biyara - the "Mother of Cisterns" : a hike to this mountain, while a great day out for hikers, should never be undertaken without a local guide

Petra mountains with Wadi Araba clearly to be seen beyond them. It is very rare that Wadi Araba is so clear, usually it is lost in the haze and the mountains are what one sees, high on the horizon
