More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light strips the red rock of Petra down to ribs and seams as you step through the Siq — a narrow, stone-walled canyon that funnels you toward the Treasury. Dust lifts underfoot, the air carries spice and diesel from distant roads, and the carved facades of an ancient trading city loom like pages from another era.
