Petra · The Rose City · day 1
The Siq
Why here
The approach is the drama — cool, dim and narrowing until a sliver of the Treasury appears ahead.
A crack in the world, leading somewhere impossible.
When to come
season
spring or autumn
time
early, before tour groups

dry — never enter in rain
crowd
quiet at opening, jammed by 10
