It was an unbelievable experience to see this 2000 year old building in such excellent condition. The walk through the Siq was atmospheric.

Amazing building. Sadly very damaged by Arabs. The whole site is stunning and almost everything is easy accessible by fit people. Sadly it is poluted and the local animals get abused and beaten. You'll see their blood on the trail.
