The
Siq
is
a
narrow,
winding
canyon
that
serves
as
the
main
entrance
to
the
ancient
city
of
Petra
in
Jordan.
The
Siq
is
a
natural
geological
formation,
created
over
millions
of
years
by
the
erosion
of
the
surrounding
rock
by
water
and
wind.
The
Siq
is
approximately
1.2
kilometers
long
and
is
flanked
by
towering
sandstone
cliffs
that
reach
heights
of
up
to
80
meters.
As
you
walk
through
the
Siq,
you
will
pass
through
a
series
of
breathtaking
landscapes,
including
towering
rock
formations,
sweeping
curves,
and
narrow
passages
that
provide
glimpses
of
the
incredible
structures
that
lie
ahead.
One
of
the
most
impressive
features
of
the
Siq
is
the
way
in
which
the
light
interacts
with
the
rock
formations,
creating
a
dramatic
interplay
of
light
and
shadow
that
changes
throughout
the
day.
The
Siq
is
also
home
to
several
important
archaeological
features,
including
a
series
of
tombs
and
water
channels
that
were
carved
out
of
the
rock
by
the
Nabataean
people.
As
you
approach
the
end
of
the
Siq,
you
will
be
greeted
by
one
of
the
most
impressive
sights
in
Petra:
the
Treasury,
an
intricately
carved
rock-cut
building
that
is
one
of
the
most
iconic
structures
in
the
ancient
city.
The
experience
of
walking
through
the
Siq
and
emerging
into
the
open
space
in
front
of
the
Treasury
is
truly
unforgettable
and
is
one
of
the
highlights
of
any
visit
to
Petra.
