Today we had a mini-bus, so were too squashed to take many photos. We drove north of Eliat to Timba Park where we saw interesting geological features, sites of ancient significance and an authentic model of the Exodus Tabernacle, which was explained very well. Back in town we visited a stone/crystal jewelry maker, then went to the mall (bags checked before entering) to buy SIM cards and McD's for lunch.
Then it was through the border crossing and into Jordan where our new guide and a nice big bus were waiting.
It took about 2 hours to get to our accommodation at Taybet Zaman near Petra. This is a whole village which has been converted to guest accommodation, with each house becoming a suite. It is beautiful, and dinner in the restaurant was great.
I think you could have just gone to Coober Pedy.
