Fortified behind a narrow, deep Siq [Gorge] that slowly winds through a massive rock wall, the majestic façade of the ‘Treasury’ [Al-Kazneh] rises up with a breath taking view as you emerge into the sunlight, continue the tour to The Monastery [El Deir] and the High Place of the Sacrifice [Al Madbah] which are among the myriad archeological wonders to be explored at Petra.
