Once you emerge from the Siq, you will find yourself in front of the iconic Treasury. Take a moment to enjoy the view. After visiting the Treasury, continue straight ahead along the main path. Walk past the Street of Facades on your right side and keep moving forward. You will soon reach the Theater, which is on your left. From the Theater, ascend the path that leads to the Royal Tombs area. Continue your ascent, and after approximately 20-30 minutes, you will notice a well-trodden trail that veers off to the right.
