The Siq (Petra)

Highlight (Segment) • Canyon

The main entrance to ancient Petra is through the Siq, a narrow, 1.2 km long gorge in the sandstone formation. The riverbed of Wadi Musa once ran here; this can lead to seasonal flash flooding in winter, then as now. To contain the danger, the Nabataeans built a comprehensive water management system, which has been partially repaired in recent decades to minimize the risk of flash floods after heavy rain in the region.
In the last section of the gorge ‘Al-Khazneh’ (The Treasury) becomes visible. This is Petra's most famous attraction.

Urn Tomb (Petra)

One of the four famous Tombs of the Kings, located to the right of the main path.
The name derives from the vessel that crowns the pediment. It was probably around 70 AD. built. In front of him is a courtyard with columns on either side. There are three small tombs in the facade. The monument was used as a church from 446 AD.
