 Nabatean temple on the way down to the entrance to the Siq. This one is notable for the obelisks. |
 This statue was part of the way down the Siq and was of a caravan trader leading a camel. Even today some of the fine detail can be appreciated. Behind the statue is a water channel. There was one of these on each side of the Siq - a covered one for drinking and an open one for washing. Note also the Limestone paving which the Romans imported from a great distance. |
 First view of "The Treasury" as you approach the end of the Siq. |
 "The Treasury" - like most Nabatean tombs and temples in Petra, this is carved directly into the rock face. Up the side are marks which are believed to be where scafolding was supported. |

 Another view from the " High Place Of Sacrifice" - we later climbed to the top of the rocks opposite to see another Nabatean temple called "The Monastery" |
 View of the Nabatean royal tombs as we descended from the " High Place Of Sacrifice". |
 This statue was of a lion (the head is missing). Water was diverted from it's path on the right of the picture to pour from the mouth of the lion for drinking. |
 This is a tomb of a Roman soldier as told from the statues. |
|
 This was "The Monastery". We could not get all of it in the picture. I am standing in the doorway to show the scale. |
