The Siq (, transliterated "al-Sīq", transcribed "as-Sīq", literally 'the Shaft') is the main entrance to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra in southern Jordan.Also known as Siqit, it is a dim, narrow gorge (in some points no more than wide) and winds its way approximately and ends at Petra's most elaborate ruin, Al Khazneh (the Treasury).
