the siq
The Siq, a majestic natural gorge in southern Jordan, stretches over 1.2 kilometers and leads to the ancient city of Petra, a testament to the ingenuity of the Nabatean civilization. This narrow passage, sometimes only 3 meters wide, is flanked by towering cliffs reaching up to 182 meters high. Historically, it served as a grand caravan entrance to the city, and even today, visitors can walk through this geological marvel, experiencing the same awe-inspiring approach to the city's famous Treasury as travelers did centuries ago.
