No matter what the season, tea can be a tasty beverage since it can be served iced or
hot. Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the
Camellia Sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to Asia.
Researchers have claimed that drinking tea can reduce the chances of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 25 per
cent if three or four cups are consumed a day. It is thought that antioxidants and magnesium compounds help to
keep weight down. Drinking one cup of tea a day could also help to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, studies have
suggested. Women who drink a single cup every day are 10 per cent less likely to develop the disease than those
who never drink tea, research last year found.
Green tea is considered to have the most health benefits of any type of tea. Studies have found that it is a
preventive for heart disease and cancer, an acne cure and even a mouthwash. It is also thought to protect us from
glaucoma and other eye diseases. The tea, full of antioxidants, can also help you lose weight, experts claim.
However, because green tea naturally contains a small amount of caffeine, it is unsuitable for people with caffeine
sensitivity, and should not be drunk in large quantities by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
Black tea is also thought to have similar negative elements. Mainly, the caffeine in it is believed to contribute to
the stiffening of arteries. However, the amount of caffeine is small
and makes tea a healthier alternative to coffee.

Arriving at some cruise terminals can be overwhelming, and the crowds may at first seem chaotic. In most cases,
cruise lines or port authorities provide sufficient staff to direct passengers to where they need to go, but
sometimes you'll encounter lines if arriving at a peak boarding time. Cruise line shore side staff are almost always
milling about to point you in the right direction, and they're easily recognizable in official-looking uniforms with
name tags and, often, a clipboard. Cruise lines prefer to stagger passenger boarding and have plans for that.
Baggage handlers work for the port, not the cruise line. And they expect a tip of about $2 per bag.
Make sure you have secured your ship's luggage tags to your locked bags before handing them over. You won't
see these bags again until you get to your cabin.
Next you'll pass through airport-style security, but you usually don't have to take off your belt or shoes.
During check-in, you'll need the cruise documents you were sent (and which you probably completed online ahead
of time) along with your proof of citizenship and credit card to cover onboard charges.
Most cruise lines take your picture as you check in.
You're then issued a boarding card (or sometimes a bracelet) that usually also doubles as your stateroom key and
shipboard charge card.
Make sure you are checked in for your cruise at least 90 minutes before departure; if you arrive late, you could be
denied boarding because of U.S. government security regulations.
You may be issued a number or allowed to board immediately.
You'll normally be asked to stop for a souvenir photograph before you board.
Boarding usually starts several hours before departure but almost always closes an hour before departure.

Petra, originally known as Raqmu or Rose city, is an ancient city located in Jordan. Established possibly in
312 BC, served as the capital of Arab Nabeteans. Petra is also known as Rose city because of the color of stone
due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved and used in its structures, as an award winning writer once
describe it as “one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s cultural heritage”. The city is famous for its
rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Petra is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited
tourist attraction.
Situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea and inhabited since prehistoric times, the rock-cut capital
city of the Nabateans, became during Hellenistic and Roman times a major caravan centre for the incense of
Arabia, the silks of China and the spices of India, a crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia. Petra is
half-built, half- carved into the rock, and is surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges. An
ingenious water management system allowed extensive settlement of an essentially arid area during the
Nabataean, Roman and Byzantine periods. It is one of the world's richest and largest archaeological sites set in a
dominating red sandstone landscape.
The Outstanding Universal Value of Petra resides in the vast extent of elaborate tomb and temple
architecture; religious high places; the remnant channels, tunnels and diversion dams that combined with a
vast network of cisterns and reservoirs which controlled and conserved seasonal rains, and the extensive
archaeological remains including of copper mining, temples, churches and other public buildings. The fusion of
Hellenistic architectural facades with traditional Nabataean rock-cut temple/tombs including the Khasneh,
the Urn Tomb, the Palace Tomb, the Corinthian Tomb and the Deir ("monastery") represents a unique artistic
achievement and an outstanding architectural ensemble of the first centuries BC to AD. The varied archaeological
remains and architectural monuments from prehistoric times to the medieval periods bear exceptional testimony to
the now lost civilisations which succeeded each other at the site.
