The Siq is the main entrance into Petra, the rose-red ancient city first established around the 6th century BC by the nomadic Nabataean tribe, who chose it as their capital due to is defensible position in a valley surrounded by sandstone hills. In places you can clearly match the cross-section patterns in one cliff-side with those opposite.
