Petra Jordan Photos with Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - Part 2

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Camera Review Jordan

A continuation of my Petra Jordan Photos with Samsung Galaxy Note 5, this is part 2 of the photo story featuring the historical ruins in this UNESCO Heritage Site.

If you are planning to visit Petra, you should know that there is quite a bit of walking around here; therefore, it is best to come prepared.

If I recall correctly, I walked about 15 kilometres in total when I was here in September 2015. So, it is highly advisable to bring proper walking shoes, lots of water and some snacks.

There are shops and cafes at Petra along the way if you need a break and a proper restaurant managed by a five-star hotel at the halfway point.

If you look at some of my photos, you will see camels, horses and donkeys and the locals offer visitors rides to certain checkpoints for a small fee. 

The main attractions here are the Gorge, The Treasury and The Monastery, which are impressive and have to be seen in person to truly appreciate it.

Below are photos after the Petra Treasury. Click on them to see the full photo.

A unique rock formation is seen along the way to the Monastery. This one resembles elephants.

As for staying in Petra, our team from Southeast Asia was put up at the Movenpick Resort Petra, which is the closest hotel to the main entrance of Petra.

Technically, it is right smack in front of the Petra entrance, so it is highly recommended for those wanting a bit of luxury and convenience. Again, after all that walking, you just want to get back to your hotel and relax. 

You can read the first part of my Petra Jordan Photos with Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as there are more photos and information there.

I split the articles in two simply due to too many photos taken with the smartphone; therefore, having one article would be really long.

Anyway, the first part is about the walk to the Treasury, while the second part is the walk to the Monastery of Petra.

Overall, this has been the best smartphone camera I have used to date, as the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is totally amazing when taking photos during my travels. I would highly recommend getting this smartphone, especially if you travel for leisure or business.

Conclusion

Do check out my other articles about Jordan, namely Aqaba, The Dead Sea, Bashra and Amman, as I will be gradually posting them over the next couple of months. I will also be posting some videos on Jordan on my YouTube.

Once again, a huge thanks to the Jordan Tourism Board for making this trip possible, and I hope you enjoyed my Petra Jordan Photos with Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
