Doesn't it remind you just a little bit of that iconic scene from Lawrence of Arabia when Omar Sharif gallops towards you on his gorgeous black stallion?
The second day at Petra I agreed to a donkey ride up the mountain—which one does to support the local economy—to get that stunning view high above the treasury. Frankly, I would much rather have walked, it was absolutely hair-raising, there were several times when I honestly thought the poor beast was going to trip up the stairs going around one of those hairpin bends and take us both over the cliff.
