Stroll through the massive sandstone walls and allow your mind to carry you more than 2200 back. Think of lif ethen and what people could do to keep themselves occupied. More

The face of nature that changes with the light. Magnificent colours and patterns in the rock moulded into fantastic formations by water and wind. Go early in the day,7.00am, to hear no sound except the wind rushing past. Go in the afternoon to see the harse morning light mellow to golden hues. More

The Siq is the start of beautiful Petra, but be sure to allow yourself several days! The Siq is 2 kilometers long with plenty to see and it ends up at the treasury. From there Petra unfolds! More
