Petra!

Petra is absolutely amazing!
It is an ancient city that was carved out of rock in the 6th century. it seems like people usually associate petra with the treasury which is only one of the many buildings in the city. the treasury is definately the coolest, but there is so much more than that!. . it's like 1000 times cooler than mount rushmore! also if you climb like 850 steps you get to the monastery which is also amazing. the whole city is awesome, and you should all go see it! words can not describe the immaculately carved buildings, tombs, and shrines. it's awesome.
