6.30 a.m - Woke up really early to make sure that I could get ready and prepare the stuff to bring but only to found out that the water heater still wasn't switch on. Really got pissed off and told hubby to asked Ust. Zaid to find us another hotel. I can't tolerate with this. I don't expect a 5 star hotel but a basic need is needed - water heater & air cond. Nasib tengah winter so air cond takde pun takpe.
I started to pack all the stuff soon after Ust. Zaid agreed to find us another hotel.
9.00 a.m - Had a simple breakfast. Transfer our luggage and stuff to the new hotel room before heading to Petra. This time around I checked and make sure they had the water heater in place.
11.00 a.m - Stop for a while at tomb of Al-Harith b. Umair Al-Azdy. He was the emissary for Rasulullah. When he brought the Prophet's message to the Roman, he was decapitated by Ghassanid Chief. Due to that the Battle of Mut'ah started in attempt for Muslim to take retribution against the chief. Muslim won the battle even though they only send 3000 people defeating over 100,000 of Arab Christian.

Along the way to Petra the scenary much the same as yesterday. Jordan is full will valley that I found it sometimes very scare to look straight ahead.
The hills and mountains....

The scariest part was when we nearly arrived to Petra. The slope surrounding Petra were full of houses. So scared of looking the places. Kalau kat Bukit Antarabangsa mau terjunam rumah-rumah ni.

Petra is an archeological site lying on the slope of Mount Hor. It is renowed for its rock-cut architecture and also one of the new wonders of the worls. The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was discovered by a Swiss explorer. It was famously described as "a rose-red city half as old as time". UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". In 1985, Petra was designated a World Heritage Site.
Soon after we went through at the end of the Siq, we could see the famous Treasury. The facade of the building was carved out of a sandstone rock face. It was originally built as a royal tomb, probably between 100 BC and 200 AD. Its Arabic name Treasury derives from a legend that bandits or pirates hid their loot in a stone high on the second level. Many of the building's architectural details have eroded away during the two thousand years since it was carved and sculpted from the cliff. Religious unrest in the area during recent years has reportedly resulted in further damage to the site.
We spend 30 minutes to take some pictures there as the chariot had been booked earlier. We was lucky because the charioteer was sympathetic to us with the two kids. The road to the 'city' was bumpy that we felt our b*** numb after the journey.

3.00 p.m - Stop by at a nearby restaurant to had lunch and changed the kids diapers before continuing our journey.
4.00 p.m - After lunch we stop at one the Prophet Musa's spring - Mata Air Nabi Musa. It was told when Nabi Musa went down to Jerusalem, the Israelite felt so thirsty. Allah had ordered Nabi Musa to struck the ground with his walking stick and with Allah's will water sprung out from it.

We also visited a nearby souvenir shop selling bottle sand. We had the chanced to see the making of it. We also bought around 20 ++ bottles sand for souvenirs for families and friends.
