On the road south from Amman the air changes—stone and sand replace city dust and the horizon opens into folds of ochre. You enter Petra through the siq, a narrow, shadowed gorge that funnels you toward the Khazneh, an ornate façade carved from living rock. The city moves with you: Nabatean water channels and rock-cut tombs hint at commerce and engineering set against a desert wind that seems to push history forward.
