Petra is mystical, beguiling and romantic. Walking through the narrow canyon of the Siq, its towering water-cut, pink rock walls cutting off all but a sliver of sky, enclosing you in its silence and beauty, enchanting and leading you towards that one fateful step where the incomparable majesty of the Treasury reveals itself after just one extra step.
If it is you first time or one of many this sight never fails to stun you with its grandeur and grace. The only thing that can possibly improve on this experience is to see it at night, the Siq and the Treasury lit by the flickering flames of more than 2000 candles when their warm lights seems to make the rose rock glow from within.
