This mesmerizing creation begins with a walk throw a long, narrow pathway, known as Al-Siq. It is of striking beauty and serves as the main entrance to the main city of Petra. As you approach the end of Al-Siq, your eyes lay on the Treasury “Al-Khazneh;” one of the most elegant remains of antiquity entirely carved deep into the rocks of one side of the mountain, and concealed in a high-walled ellipse of a valley. Almost 40 meters high, it is intricately decorated with Corinthian capitals, friezes, and figures. Have some time to have lunch in Petra before seeing other monuments such as the Monastery, the Altar of sacrifice, Street of Facades, Royal Tombs, and the Roman Theater.
