Let's Do Petra! Part I



The Siq

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siq

The Siq, or corridor, that is the 1.2k entrance to the site known as Petra.  You can walk, or ride the horse-drawn carts.  We opted to walk down, but we rode back through it in a cart.  The photos here in Part I are from the entrance of the Siq to the Treasury.  It is early morning...we started down about 8:30am, so the lighting is mixed.  You can tell how high the walls of this stone path are by the size of the people in the photos.  It's amazing!  Enjoy.

Part 2 will be posted soon.  
Peace
