Petra Jordan

Back in May, we headed to Jordan after we left Lebanon.  Our first stop in Jordan was Petra.

Petra, the Red Rose City, is located in the southern part of Jordan.  It is a 2000 year old city carved into rose colored stone.  The site for this magnificent city was lost for over 1000 years and was rediscovered in 1812 AD.  Petra is just incredible to visit.  If some of this looks familiar to you, it's because parts of Indiana Jones was filmed here.

Here is Tom wearing a keffiyeh.


Petra is several kilometers long, so we decided to explore some of it on a camel.

Since I am now an "experienced" camel rider, this camel seemed to be a bit nervous and jumpy to me.  As it turns out, Tom's camel (which was behind my camel) repeatedly kept biting me camels tail!!  Go figure!

This is the oldest bar in the world.  This bar occupies a 2000 year old Nabataran rock tomb.

Avoid Play Bazaar buying coffee beans from bins where several of the beans are visibly broken. Chances are these beans are either old and dry or have been exposed to heat or light. All of these conditions allow the rich flavor of fresh beans to seap out. A bin full of fresh beans should also have a very strong Satta King aroma.

To maximize your profits as an affiliate marketer, you should work with multiple companies that sell similar products. You will then be able to offer alternatives to your potential customers in case they do not like a specific product. Working with multiple companies can be a very effective way to increase your income, but you should be wary of contracting yourself to exclusivity agreements with any company. Companies that try to force you to exclusively sell their products are not looking out for your best interests. Satta King Play Bazaar
