Al-Siq
The Siq is the main entrance to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra. Walking the length of the Siq is approximately 3/4 of a mile, and is a very nice walk. Leaving the Siq and first seeing Petra is absolutely
The Treasury
Al-Khazneh is one of the most elaborate temples in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom inhabited by the Arabs in ancient times. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery, this structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face.
The Colonnaded Street
This street was built by the Nabateans and later reconstructed by the Romans. The columns are a bit worse for wear, but the architectural intentions of the colonnaded street are clearly evident. All Roman cities had a central Forum which was a public area in which business, civic affairs, and religious ceremonies were conducted.
Ad-Deir Trail
Hdden high in the hills, the Monastery is one of the legendary monuments of Petra. Similar in design to the Treasury but far bigger (50m wide and 45m high), it was built in the 3rd century BCE as a Nabataean tomb. It derives its name from the crosses carved on the inside walls, suggestive of its use as a church in Byzantine times. The ancient rock-cut path of more than 800 steps starts from the Basin Restaurant and follows the old processional route.
