John William Burgon\u2014an English Anglican divine\u2014described Petra as \u201cA Rose-Red City Half as Old as Time\u201d. Once lost to the modern civilization, Petra caves in Jordan<\/strong> are giant stacks of red and brown sandstone located in the present-day Jordan. One of the world\u2019s most spectacular archeological sites, Petra is a necropolis of ruined temples cut into lofty cliffs of rose-red sandstone.<\/p>\n

For the curious travelers, it\u2019s too difficult not to peek inside each cave they pass. The long, narrow canyon called \u201cThe Siq\u201d that passes through the dark places under the mountains also allures those who want to familiarise themselves with the past of Petra caves.<\/p>\n
