PETRA

The entrance to the city is through the Siq, a narrow gorge over one kilometer in length, which is flanked on either side by soaring 80 meter high cliffs. Just walking through the Siq is an experience in itself. The colours and rock formations are dazzling and as you reach the end of the Siq, you will catch your first breath-taking glimpse of Al-Khazneh (The Treasury).

THE TREASURY (AL-KHAZNEH)

Petra

<p>Emerging from the end of the Siq, the Treasury is Petra’s most iconic monument. Carved in the 1st century AD, it features Hellenistic architectural elements with mysterious funerary symbolism. Despite its name, it was likely a royal tomb rather than a repository for riches. The façade’s incredible preservation and artistry leave a lasting impression on every visitor.</p>
