Entrance of the Siq
The Tunnel
The entrance to Petra is a long, winding sandstone canyon
Known as the Siq (about 2km)
Minor carvings spotted here and there throughout the Siq
Impressive colorful and unusual sandstone patterns in the rock walls
Sabinos Alexendros Station
The jaw-dropping grandeur of the Treasury
One of the signature shot of the Treasury
Note the urn atop the Treasury structure

Gotta watch out for your head
Looking back at the Royal Tombs
Not sure what is the purpose of grooming the sand
Looking back after hiking half way through
