Jordan-Petra

The Siq, a narrow canyon 1.2 km long, was the principal entrance to Petra from the east. A sculpture of a Nabatean, in the back a camel and a water pipeline that supplied Petra. The Nabateans built a sophisticated system of dams, cisterns, pipes and channels to guard it from sudden floods. At its peak Petra may have sheltered 25,000 citizens.
