As-Siq:

As-Siq is a 1300-yard long valley that serves at the beautiful main entry into Petra. “Siq” for short, the valley is overlapped by the relics of a massive arch that malformed during an earthquake in 1896. But the most beautiful aspect of the stroll into Petra is the natural splendor of the multicolor sandstone rocks & the novelty of the folks of Petra.

The valley is packed with multi-colored rocks & puzzling geological constructions. As you amble through, soared cliffs that look to crop the sky surround you. The rocks themselves have been carved to make terraces for farming & conduits for water.

Obelisk Tomb:

On the road into Petra, tourists can see tombs engraved into the adjacent rock, the most popular of which is the Obelisk Tomb – which displays a wonderful mixture of Egyptian & Greco-Roman architecture. The obelisk itself is Egyptian in origin, whereas the sites between it are Greco-Roman. The upper floor features the real tomb while the lower floor was used as dinning corridor for funeral rituals.

Palace Tomb:

With its multiple levels & elegantly adorned pillars and columns, the Palace Tomb greatly resembles a palace. Regardless of being badly battered, it’s still a great sight to savor.

Urn Tomb:

It’s by far the largest of the regal entombments, and was afterward to be reconsecrated as a Byzantine cathedral. There’re 3 compartments above its entrance. The central compartment is obstructed by a stone that represents the man masked inside, which will send shivers running down your spine.

High Place of Sacrifice:

The mere way to access this region is to opt for a long hike. But at the summit, you’ll be rewarded with an exceptional sight of Petra in an especially well-maintained region. This site was most probably employed for spiritual ceremonies to pay tribute to the gods & for conducting funeral rituals for the demised.
