Welcome to my visit to Petra. It was one the most fascinating places I have ever been to. The history and rock formations are so impressive, my mind couldn't capture it all!!! I hope you like my journey through Petra!! Part 1

This is the town and landscape right before you get to Petra.

The visitor center.

The beginning of the hike.

You can rent horses, donkeys or carriage rides if you don't want to hike through The Siq.

The Siq is the main entrance to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra in southern Jordan. Also known as Siqit, the main entrance in Petra is a dim, narrow gorge (in some points no more than 3 metres (10 ft) wide) winds its way approximately 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) and ends at Petra's most elaborate ruin, Al Khazneh (the Treasury).
