Petra - Wonders of the World

Situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Nabatean city of Petra is considered among the Seven Wonders of the World. 

In the description of the “universal outstanding value” of this World Heritage Site, UNESCO describes the ancient city as a “major caravan centre for the incense of Arabia, the silks of China and the spices of India, a crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia.”

 

Petra, a world hidden within the mountains of Jordan, was built several centuries ago. This ancient "caravan city" was the capital of the Nabataean Arabs, an ancient Semitic race of people who inhabited Jordan. They were mostly traders and agriculturists.


Tombs, caves, temples, monasteries, amphitheatres, gates, street facades – you need at least a couple of days to explore Petra.


The rock-cut architecture takes your breath away. Animals, deities and mortals, mostly carved in rock, greet you everywhere in this World Heritage Site. The architecture is heavily influenced by Assyrian, Egyptian, Hellenistic and Roman styles.

Perhaps the most stereotyped image of Petra is Al Khazneh or the Treasury. Entry is through the Siq, a long narrow gorge, no more than 3 meters wide in some places, which gives the impression that the mountain has parted ways to allow you to enter it. Back in the day, caravans made their grand entry to Petra via the Siq.

The Treasury or Al Khazneh is one of Petra’s most recognizable monuments and one celebrated in Hollywood classics such as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Tintin fans will also recognize the monument for its appearance in the Red Sea Sharks.

The Street of Facades in Petra is lined with rock-cut tombs in sandstone. Bodies were interred in chambers carved on the rocks.

The Royal Tombs, much larger in scale, and Urn Tombs lead to a single chamber, which was probably an ancient Byzantine church.

Petra is not just a city of tombs and rock cut temples. Meet the Bedouins here, stay in a cave, ride a horse up to the monastery, or watch craftsmen create sand art in bottles. Petra, as the BBC says, is one of the places you must see before you die.  

Women's Feet and Nail Care

Foot and Nail Care is the one of the best beauty care for every lady. When your feet clear and smooth, you enjoy the pleasure of the world. Your feet become very hard and it shows the rough, calloused skin on the pumps needs regular treatment or it may become dry and damaged. The moist skin between the toes is prone to athlete’s foot. Even the skin on the tops of feet is vulnerable, it can get sunburned if not protected from sun light.


Foot

Simple tips for a foot care nail.

First keep you in warm for at least 10 minutes with the help of mild shop clean the toenails and the skin around the nails. And when it becomes dry, then use mild antiseptic or essential olive oil or tree oil. Carefully massage the feet with these substances. Apply orange wood stick to rebel the toenail cuticles. In this way also you would get relief from infection and bacteria. Don’t trim the toenails in a rounded shape. Try to trim them straight across. Please avoid cutting them too short, otherwise you may experience in-grown nail. Keep the claws clear and totally devoid of any dirt.

Foot

Moisturize your feet everyday.

Put lotion or foot cream on as a part of your routine. One way to achieve smooth, moisturized feet is to rub on some lotion or petroleum jelly before bed. When you awaken in the morning, you'll discover that your feet are very smooth and are totally devoid of dry skin.


Taking proper care of your feet will prevent you from getting foot conditions such as athlete's foot or other fungal infections. No matter what the season is, it is always important to keep your feet and toinails in tip-top condition. During the summer, your feet are constantly visible due to footwear choices such as shoes and slippers, so it would be a great idea to keep them looking incredible and fabulous.

Love's Dos and Don’ts

Never ever go to bed mad at your soul mate, sleep on the settee if you have to: the bedroom should be a safe, amazing, and pleasant place to go to.

Pick your fights, ask yourself if this is something that is going to issue in 5 years, if not let it go.

Do not talk when you are mad, delay until you calm down enough to discuss, take a walk, a long bath, or whatever you do to calm down, and always, always, always stick to the topic, and do not ever attack their personal thoughts, they have just as much right to them as you do to yours.



When you go out, always allow partner first, a lady can open a door for a man just as quickly especially if his arms and fingers are full.

Ask for their viewpoint on stuff, if they don't have one, do not badger one out, it will only begin a fight with over nothing.

Tell your partner often that you really like them, I try for at least 10 periods a day, even if they are right after one another.



If you discover that you are both getting in a rut and nothing seems to be as natural as it once was, first discuss then think of some measures to take.


Surprise them often with some different feedback, once I informed my partner that I do not think that I liked him any longer, after a mil-a-second I said that I realized that I liked him and I do not have to think, that was a amazing night.




Always try to know what they are saying. And if your partner prefers a certain form of game, try to understand what the game is about and the names of the teams and you never know you might actually like it once you comprehend it.

Show your love in the way that you take care with yourself, your partner, your kids, your home, your job, you would be unexpected how well that performs.

This is the simplest one of all and I think more people should follow it, the world would truly be a better place. Have fun, yes just that. Laugh at least once a day. It’s excellent for you and those around you.

Love In Different Languages

A Rose by any other name, said Shakespeare, still doth smell and lovely. Or something of the type. By the same sense, Single Ones, Really like in any other language still got to mean the same. In our current globalized world you never know who you might run into and with some luck fall for. Better to wander around prepared.
