Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
The 3rd day was the mooooooost exhausting. yet exciting. We spent a whole day at Petra as it is big as a country. An ancient city. built up in Nabataean period. Petra ni sebuah negeri purba dimana semua bangunan dan binaanya di pahat dari gunung dan bukit. Subhanallah. Hebatnya. Petra ni dikaitkan dengan Nabi Salleh dan suku kaum Tsamud. It was a gift from ALLAH terhadap kaum Tsamud, dimana mereka mampu memahat gunung dan bukit menjadi rumah dan bangunan.
Orang kata, Petra ni ada 7 pintu. Perjalanan untuk ke sesebuah pintu tu dalam 45min-60 min lebih kurang.
Hmm, we kicked-off the day with a delly breakfast. Roti arab with kari ayam dan macaroni. :9 Janjinya, nak bergerak pukul 8, tapi memandangkan muraqib-muraqib 'ada masalah' so 8.30 baruuu bertolak dari Mu'tah. Mu'tah ke Petra dalam 2 hs.
Its almost eleven when we reached at Petra. Masa tu sangat excited sebab its the wonder of the World. Wohoo! hehehe. Hah! Lupa nak cakap, masa sampai Petra tu, hujan. -.-' Masa tu dok fikir-fikir, macam mana lah nak jejak Petra kalau hujan. Kan, dia berbatu-bata and tanah. Mesti challenging. Tapi, tak apa lah, adventure sikit. hueh hueh. Fyi, I wore a pair of heeled-boot that day, so I was a lil bit worried. Sebab jalan nya berbatu, plus hujan so takut licin. but, alhamdulillah, semuanya selamat. It went smoothly without any accident. Hehe :D
The first part of the road was okay. Jalann jee. Kat tepi-tepi for both sides boleh nampak macam lubang-lubang rumah zaman dahulu. Tapi, kat area tu sikit je, lain-lain tu batu semuaa. Bila masuk lagi dalam, jalan tu makin sempit as its inside hills. Hmm, how can I explain this, dia macam masuk dalam maze. Rock-hills maze. Kat dalam tu macam-macam bentuk batu ada. Sekeliling ni batu, and at the above tu nampak langit. It was fun. We walked, and walked and walked sampai lah dekat pintu 1 kot. Entah lah. Tapi, sampai lah kat satu ukiran besar, an ancient building with-milepost-at-the-entrance. The most significant structure at Petra. The muraqib told us that it was the central command of Petra once upon a time. Hmm, biasanya boleh je masuk dalam bangunan purba tu, tapi haritu tak dibenarkan sebab under exploration lagi. Puncanya, di bawah bangunan tu ada penemuan terbaru as in there were more underneath the buliding. It is claimed that there were another ancient city underground. Wow! Subhanallah. and there was Darwin's Theory ever existed? Orang zaman dahulu dah genius-genius dah boleh bina bangunan dari bukit. Plus, Petra was build from above downwards. Bukan dari bawah ke atas. Besarnya anugerah Allah terhadap mereka.
Then, after few photo shoots, we continue our journey. Jalan makin dalam. Sampai sampai kat Mahkamah. Zaman dahulu pun dah ada mahkamah. Excellent :) mahkamah ni tinggi dan besar. kena naik tangga. Kat atas tu boleh nampak pemandangan indah. Huuu :)
Hmm, kat mahkamah ni, kami separate. 6 of us nak teruskan perjalanan while the rest dah nak balik pintu masuk sebab dah penat sangat nak teruskan. Oh, and those 6 hebat-lagi-ohsem peoples tu adalah kak mie, fatihah, kak maisarah, me, adam and firdaus. Hehehe :B *the rest pun awesomee jugak ;)*
Okay, then we walked again. Hm, we actually did stop awhile to perform asar. Memandangkan surau dah terlepas jauh ke belakang, kami solat atas bumbung. Hee. Not to mention the rain. Masa solat tu, hujan dah makin lebat dah. Berlapik kan raincoat as the sejadah. It was indeed the most memorable moments we shared. The rest of the journey was more adventurous as we need to hike to reach the end. And the most hated and exhausted part was we HAVE to climb up uncountable STAIRS. dammit i hate stairs. -.-' As we reached higher, I became more and more exhausted. Hypoxia indeed. Sumpah penat gila. Thanks to those biscuits and abg long who willing to wait for me all the way up (I was left far behind others sebab muscle's fatigue) Almost 4 pm when we reached the upmost. Hmm. as we almost finished up our walk of Petra tu, there was an old female folk greeted me saying "Good work!" and my spirited and energy level up higher because of 'ashame-ness' towards her and myself. malu kokre -.-
Hah, at last we reached the end. Oh yeah! Sangat puas hati! :D Tapi dekat situ stay sekejap jee sebab pak cik yang jaga tu suruh patah balik sebab Petra dah nak tutup -.- Ambik-ambik gambar jap, lepas tu, patah balik ke pintu masuk. We walked back by foot. sebab nak ride camel/donkey/horse-carriage/horse semua kena charge. More else, we still got energy left to stay walking. Kami jalaaannn balik sepanjang laluan tadi as it is the only way in and out. It was fun. There was no other visitors except us along the way. At first, ada jugak anak-anak arab dengan theirs' horse and donkey escorted us *padahal nak offer naik 'kenderaan' mereka* Dia orang ikut sampai dekat mahkamah, dan patah balik sebab tak dilayan. Then, kami enam orang ni pun terus berjalan. Waktu tu dah semakin gelap, ah, btw Petra tak ada lampu. So, yeah. Kami berjalan memyusuri batu dalam gelap. We moved faster, sebab bimbang tak nampak jalan kalau makin gelap. Hujan pun lebat, jalan yang kami lalu tu dah macam sungai air nya. deras. It was totally the best moments. No others and inside hills. Alhamdulillah, we successfully completed the journey. Waktu kami sampai entrance gate tu, dah malam. We got into the bus and straight to Aqaba. Officially penat :D
