An impressively long, deep and narrow gorge of stunning natural beauty, the Siq is hemmed in by cliffs soaring up to 263 feet, so you can walk or ride on a horse if you wish. At the end of the Siq, you will see the Treasury, El-Khazneh, which was believed to hold countless treasures. Your first view of El-Khazneh is absolutely breathtaking, so have your camera ready! Then Other monuments you will see in Petra include the Roman Theatre, the Royal Tombs and Qasr al-Bint. Lunch will be served at a good quality local restaurant, then you will be driven back to the cruise at Aqaba Port.
