In honor of Rosh Chodesh Av, the Yahrtzeit of Aharon Hakohen, several Lubavitchers traveled from Israel to the neighboring Kingdom of Jordan to pray at his final resting place on Hor Hahar.

What are the pictures?
Can someone explain why there seems to be a palace carved in the rocks? Are those caves homes or are they part of the lever? Explanations with the pictures would be nice.
This looks like a very cool trip. The second place in the pictures was Petra. It was an ancient city in the Dessert. I wanted to do this trip for as while and happy to see it looks safe sort of safe to go now.
All i can say
OMG OMG OMG
Looks awesome
Confused
I thought we don’t know exactly where Aaron HaCohen is buried?
sublime
These pictures are just sublime. So many years later and yidden are there once again.
WOW!!
Would LOVE to go there!!!!!
wondering
How does any one know where Aaron is buried?
Who lived then and perhaps lives now in the carved out mountains? Any one out there in cyber space knowledgeable about this?

The picture with the carved out rocks is in Petra Jordan
Were some of those ppl wearing the keffieh's Jews?
I hope not, because they were the shiur requiring tzitzis and they would have been oiver lavim d’oraisa.
not
head wrap is not a beged. Also, have you ever worn a scarf? was it not rectangle?

Hey was that Tzvi Moskoff in one of the pix?
Amazing Tzvi, long time no see, you are always exploring the Jewish planet… great going and keep it up… What a journey into Aaron Hakohen’s gravesite. It simply boggles the mind… You must have had to deal and wheel with the Jordanian Tourist Dept. Keep on keepin’ on.
