Back in time

It is crazy to think we have already been away from Egypt for three days. Jordan is a beautiful country with amazing food and people who are warm with hospitality This morning we left our hotel in the Petra region which was called the Old Village. It really looked and felt like we had gone back in time and were staying in a small village right out of the pages of history.

We then drove three hours admiring the land and made our way to Machaerus which was a fortress built by the Hasmoneans and later rebuilt by Herod the Great. This is the location that John the Baptist was held prisoner and later executed.

After lunch we drove to the famous Mount Nebo, which the Bible says is the location that God took Moses to let him look into the promise land. From here we had a view towards modern day Israel and took some time to reflect on Moses and the Biblical narrative of the Hebrews coming out of Egypt. Once we arrived at our hotel we all spent some time floating in the Dead Sea and enjoying the lowest place on earth. Another great day as we finish up tomorrow with a visit to the Roman city of Jerash.
