I am now in Jordan and headed north on the King's Highway. The King's Highway was a route of importance to the area of Transjordan that connected Damascus to Elath to Midian. The King's Highway is first mentioned in the Bible as the route Moses indented to follow (Numbers 20:17). The highway winds through biblical lands and into the Ammonites' kingdom. The next stop along the King's Highway is Petra. Petra is an ancient city that has huge archaeological significance in history. Petra, the city built into the rocks, is mentioned in the Bible when mentioning Isaac, Esau, and Jacob. In Petra I got to ride a horse form the visitor's center to the entrance of Petra.
