These are a few photos from my fleeting visit to Jordan in Sept 2008 that fail to do justice to this beautiful country. It is an amazing place that has so much more to offer than just Petra (which by the way is as magnificent as you'd imagine).
C&C are welcome.
I hope you like.

View of the Treasury, Petra's most famous tomb from the tail end of the Siq (taken at dawn so there was no-one else around, a rarity for Petra!)
The Monastery at Petra, quite a hike up to it, but stunning
The roman ruins at Jerash, amazingly well preserved
Salt build-up on the banks of the Dead Sea
