The biggest draw for me to the Middle East was not the Pyramids, but Petra in Jordan. Ever since I first saw a picture of the Treasury I was fascinated and felt if I had the chance I´d have to go and visit. It´s about a 1.5 km walk through the siq (a natural gap in the rock created by an earthquake) to this point where it narrows to 3 meters and offers the first glimpses of the glorious Treasury, Petra´s most magnificent sight.
