I've done a little digging and have a few friends interested. Specifically myself and my former Club President.
We'd fly into Amman and make our way to Petra specifically. Lots to shoot there and it would be quite open. We'd bus into the ancient cities and would wander as such with some loosely arranged spots for HDR, pano etc.
Along the same lines of the Africa POTN trip. We're thinking maybe 365 days from now, next Jan/Feb (flexible). Is it a pipe dream to get something like this organized due to low interest or will it be 20 people into it?
Two options.
1. Fly into Jordan directly. Spend lots of time in Petra proper with extras.
2. Fly into Israel (Eilat) and stay at Club Med. Day trips into Jordan. Much more expensive and more touristy.
I'm all about #1. Immerse yourself in the country. Jordan and Petra is quite safe these days.
Thoughts?
