We passed this route by horses in the morning. Now we took a slow walk back to the ticketing office.
Djinn Blocks
There are 26 of them in Petra. They are tower tombs and may have been the symbols for God Dushara who in the early Nabataean times was represented by a block of stone.
The Obelisk Tomb and below it is the Bab el-Siq Triclinium
Although they stand one above the other, they were built in different times. The tomb may have been built for Malichus II and his children between AD 44-70.
