Petra-The Treasury As Seen From the Siq 1208
As you come to the end of the Siq or passageway through the rock mountains, you enter a natural courtyard and view for the first time the enormous ancient Treasury building that was carved into the sandstone cliffs by the Nabataens centuries ago. This is Petra, Jordan - one of the seven wonders of the world.
