32 km of walking around Petra, in the heat and dust, gave me a real workout today

Today was a very intense day, almost 7 hours of intense walking. It doesn't translate into distance, but the terrain and walking conditions were unique.

While getting to Petra wasn't much of a challenge, especially since it was only 20 degrees in the morning, it was a bit of a nightmare in the afternoon.

We decided to tackle two challenging routes, one of which was a two-hour climb up poor-quality stairs, in temperatures exceeding 32 degrees Celsius, in full sun. I can feel it in my legs.

But it was worth it, so tomorrow we repeat our visit to Petra to complete another route before the afternoon route to Aqaba, where we intend to laze around for 3 days.
