The Siq in Wadi Musa, Jordan, is a stunning narrow gorge that serves as the main entrance to the ancient city of Petra. This natural geological formation stretches approximately 1.2 kilometers (0.75 miles) and is flanked by towering sandstone cliffs that reach heights of up to 80 meters (262 feet). Walking through the Siq, visitors are treated to a mesmerizing journey of winding pathways, dramatic rock formations, and intricate carvings that hint at the historical significance of Petra. The Siq culminates in a breathtaking view of Al-Khazneh, also known as the Treasury, one of Petra’s most famous and iconic structures.
