More or less, it is a 2 km flat path, Al-Siq, a canyon made of wonderful changing-colour stones.
Let's start walking. You'll appreciate the old Nabatean Hidro-system to get water in the valley: to the right, water is flowing in a way and to the left, in the opposite direction!
You'll find even a tree -surviving without the sun-, some old stairs in the stone to reach the ancient houses -not existing anymore-...
At the end of the Siq, you do not feel tired, you'll be fashinated by Al-Khazneh...
You're making good progress and you're now at the Bab al-Sīq which is the wide valley just in front of a large gorge known as the Siq. In Arabic it means gateway to the Siq.
As you approach the entrance of the Siq you'll start to feel some cool air coming from the shadier and cooler Siq within; some pleasant relief from the heat. The curtains made of huge, multi-pink natural coloured sandstone, really make this a dramatic entrance to the Siq and the ancient carvings on the walls are captivating.
Yay, so much excitement still ahead. Hoping you're enjoying the journey!!!
bellissimi luoghi... bisogna camminare tanto prima di arrivare al primo punto interessante... in totale alla fine della giornata sono stati fatti 21 km

::Обращайте внимаия на камни, на их цвета. Помимо этого, такое впечатление, что эти камни замороженные и ждут своего часа.
