The Siq, the carved fronts, the desert south of them and the city every one of these days starts from. Every frame here was taken on one of the routes these departures actually run.

Photographs go in the order the trip does: Petra first, monument by monument in walking order from the Siq to Al-Khazneh and on to Ad-Deir, then Wadi Rum, then the Dead Sea, the Madaba mosaic and Amman. If you want to know which of these you will reach in the hours your fare gives you, then compare the Petra tours from Amman.
