Tombs, temples and theatres carved out completely in rocks, great views, secluded places, Petra has it all. Certainly the must-see place in Jordan, involving some good walks unless you want to ride a donkey.
When you walk out of Wadi Moussa, the village built at the entrance to Petra, there are few signs of the marvels lying on the other side of the rocks. Walking down a rocky canyon, or siq as it is called locally, at times only a few metres narrow, in a pleasant shade protecting you from the heat in the hot summer, there are some hints of what is ahead in the face of the cliffs. It is only when you reach the end of the siq that, suddenly, you discern the facade of a building hewn out of the rocks. It looks like a beautiful lady wearing a chador, you can see only part of the beauty.
