Rachel took this photo on her memorable trip to Petra!

See details of our Lawrence's Arabia trip.

Rachel writes, "Lawrence's Arabia in May 2007 was my 10th Explore trip and my boyfriend's first! Excitement enough in itself.

Midway through the tour, after 2 memorable days in Petra, and half a day by camel in the stunning desert of Wadi Rum, we settled for the night in Explore's own Bedouin camp.

David and I went for a walk on the dunes, during which he dropped down on one knee and proposed! How romantic is that?

Here's a picture of us taken at Petra the day before".
