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, its still a
great sight to savor.

Urn Tomb Its by far the largest of the regal
entombments, and was afterward to be
reconsecrated as a Byzantine cathedral. Therere
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, youll
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.
