Petra Travellers Guide

We just returned from Petra and found this book a great overall guide. Pictures and text are very informative. Book is small enough to take on a trip, but comprehensive enough to give you the history and descriptions of the sites. Highly recommend this if you are going to one of the great wonders of the world.
