Need a little inspiration for your next trip? Just follow Oprah Winfrey on social media.

In between interviewing royals, running a media empire, and picking her favorite things for us to all enjoy each year, it appears the media mogul is taking plenty of time to travel. And she's even bringing her bestie Gayle King along for the journey too.

On Monday Winfrey shared photos from her trip to Petra, Jordan, a UNESCO archaeological site that is also called the "Rose City."

“Visited Jordan this week, and there was so much to see and experience,” the TV icon wrote in the caption of her Instagram post, which has more than 420,000 likes and thousands of comments by the time of this writing. “We visited the site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus, Petra and all its fascinations, camels, and the spot where the big boulder comes rolling out of ‘Indiana Jones.’ So much history there in the 'Rose City,’ voted one of the 7 new wonders of the world.”


Winfrey's Instagram gallery has an absolutely epic photo of herself outside of The Treasury atop a colorful camel, alongside a photo of her matching the camel's pout. There are also images of her and King smiling ear-to-ear, exploring the sites together.

According to Winfrey, “It takes [three] days to really see it all. We only spent [three] hours. Put it on your must-see list if you haven’t already!”
