The 'Bab-as-siq' is the gateway to the gorge. It is the only way in and out of it. So every morning we would walk this narrow path into the gorge and at the end of the day walk the return trip. It is long, narrow and twisty with the huge rock faces towering above on both sides forming an incredible awesome view, each face has a different color tint. It is hard to describe, only a visit can justify its beauty. Once in a while the sound of horses hooves are heard and we have to move aside or else get run over by the horse carts. Petra is so well preserved because the 'siq' protected it from discovery for centuries.
