The gorge, Petra, Jordan_2519

The gorge is 1.2 kilometers long. At its narrowest point the walls are only 3 meters apart! It was not made by erosion. It is a geological fault line, evidence of the movement of tectonic plates. Water, san and rocks smooth the walls over thousands of years.

The Main entrance to the hidden city of Petra goes through the impressive split in the rock called the Siq Petra.
