Candlelit Siq, Petra, Jordan
Siq at night lit by candles, Petra, Ma'an, Jordan. The Siq is a 1.2km gorge formed when the earth split by tectonic forces and is the main entrance to Petra. Water channels were carved into the rock on both sides by the Nabateans in the 1st century BC to bring water from springs to the city. Petra was the capital and royal city of the Nabateans, Arabic desert nomads. Picture by Manuel Cohen
