I was just in Petra today. When walking to the treasury, you wall in between closely spaced tall rock. When you hike up the trail to the Monastery, you walk dangerously close to the edge of the rocks, which I think should have rails on them. By the way I later saw Yarmulke wearing Jews in Wadi Rum talking about religion with their Bedouin hosts who seemed to enjoy the conversation. Maybe it really was an accident...
