Desert Landscape, Petra

Jordan is nearly 90% desert.  This is very much illustrated by this journey to Petra. 

Very little rainfall occurs and when it does it’s sporadic in the spring and if inside a Siq, it can cause flash flooding. 

Water is scarce and the temperature can reach 34 degrees C (93 degrees F), but at night can be as low as 5 degrees C (41 degrees F). 

Desert plant life thrives in this rocky terrain.
