The rose-red Nabataean capital carved into desert sandstone, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Read the winding Siq that opens on the Treasury, the Street of Facades and the royal tombs, the colonnaded street and great temples, and the long stair-climb to the Monastery high above. A vast site best taken slowly, at your own pace.
