Curious Donkey in Petra, Jordan
When most people think of Petra they see images of the iconic Treasury. Although it’s a clear highlight, there’s much more to Petra than the Treasury. It’s spread out over several kilometres and is made up of hundreds of caves, tombs and monuments carved out of sandstone cliffs and canyons. You can literally spend days hiking and exploring the rocky terrain and never walk the same path twice.
We captured this curious little guy while on a hike to the infamous monastery. He enjoyed the attention we gave him and even posed for this photo opportunity. We got the feeling he was quite comfortable with tourists and cameras!

Love the Donkey photo 🙂
Great shot. Petra has amazing exercise opportunities! I’d love to go back with my gym clothes and sneakers on!
This so unique. The donkey it too cute.
Love this picture! The thing that I most remember from my visit to Petra isn’t the archaeological sights (though they are amazing), but rather the barrage of solicitations from Bedouins trying to get you to buy horse rides, camel rides, and donkey rides!
