These famous 2,000-year-old Nabatean ruins are another favorite on our list.  You need to hike a mile downhill to see the Treasury, then uphill in the sun to go back.  You can rent a camel, donkey, or horse but there is often a question of ethical treatment.

Concerned parties can rent a golf cart too but they must be reserved in advance.  If you want to see the entire 23-square-mile site, plan on hiking in the sun.  The must-see Monastery has 850 stairs to climb too.

    Yes, it would be both fun and challenging. Sometimes a travel memory requires us to make a physical effort.
