We met Ibrahim at The Monastery, which is about an hour climb north of Petra’s centre, on an ancient rock-cut path of about 800 steps. (800 STEPS!!! Yes people, another sporting achievement of the Guillaume-and-Eve team!!!).

Such a great look, 100% black, with charcoal eyes and a great mane of long dark hair.

Oh and girls, guess what? He’s single! Any takers?*

*Please let me know if you are interested. I have his mobile number

I am not saying that Johnny Depp isn’t sexy. But he’s already had his turn. Time to move over Johnny and to make room for these sexy bedouins.

In true Indiana Jones style, it was pitch-dark as we walked into the ruins of the famous city of Petra, in Jordan.

We passed through the twisting Siq all lit up by atmospheric lanterns, often only a claustrophobic metres wide with the sides towering 80 metres.

A few crooked turns later, we caught the first glimpse of the majestic Treasury shining through the narrow gorge ahead.

We sat on mats on the ground. Right in front of us, the Treasury was glowing by candlelight. We listened to some traditional music played by the Bedouins, sipping wonderful sweet tea.

The sky was so clear and the stars were out…it was truly magical!

Sure it is a totally touristy experience but, hey, we are tourists aren’t we? Indiana Jones can wait after all.
