Mountains
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
The
climb to the Monastery "Ed Deir" can be
considered an arduous one, but you are rewarded by
some magnificent views, first over the Petra valley,
and then over the Rift Valley of Wadi Araba.
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
