Trip of a Lifetime - Day 5


Today we will take a long drive through the Jordanian desert along the area called the Way of the Kings. On our way we will visit Petra which is "the rose red city half as old as time." The ancient Edomite and Nabatean capitol is an amazing example of prophecy. We will see the spectacular "city of the dead" with its famed gorge, ancient streets, temples, dwelling places and tombs carved right into the solid rock. Many believe that this will be the place where the Jews will hide from the Antichrist during the tribulation period. We will arrive at El-Ji Post and continue the one-mile hourney on horseback, passing through the famous Siq (natural gorge) and arrive at the Treasury.


From Petra we will continue north to the Dead Sea where we will enjoy a time of floating in this lake so full of minerals that it is impossible to sink. What an adventure!
