We walked a few hundred meters from the Visitor Center to the Entrance of the Siq. The Siq is a narrow cleft in the sandstone rock which extends almost a mile into the ruins of the ancient city of Petra. (Please read later post "What is Petra.")
Our guide Mohamed was born in a cave in the old city Petra and lived there until he was eleven years old when his family moved into the town. He was educated at Jordan University with degrees in anthropology and archaeology.
More dramatic than Lake Powell!
