Since 1985 UNESCO has described Petra as “one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s cultural heritage.” Petra is a historic

I was asked by my partners this past week about what my future plans were for the business that we owned together. I’m now over 65 and working “on” the business and less “in” the business now. In working on the business, I have given this some thought. But I don’t know currently, which was
