Outside the Treasury, Petra677 viewsOn the day we visited, there were approximately 15,000 people visiting Petra. Usually there are only 1,500 so it was horribly busy. In the centre-left of this picture you can see the boom being used by a film crew who were completely destroying what little atmosphere was left by playing loud Bollywood music from a large soundsystem while filming an actor.
