IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE TO BE AMONG THE NABATIANS. WHAT A NATION IT WAS? THEY WERE GIANTS WHO MADE SUCH A GIGANTIC AND MARVELOUS STRUCTURES WHILE CUTTING THE MOUNTAINS. HATS OFF FOR THEM
NOW I AM VISITING MADAIN SALAH SOON. LETS SEE.

The nearest town is Al Ula.

I think the site at Petra is more complete as it was the capital city. Maidan Saleh is the second largest of the Nabatean cities. Both seem well worth while (along with the other ancient cities of Saudi). :)

Anyhow, why make a trip to Jordan – if this place is here… and even better than that one.

I have to be careful with photos since WordPress offers a limited amount of space and if photos are too large, the space will fill up fast!

I’m glad you enjoyed this series of posts on travel in the Kingdom.
