BAB AL SIQ

Bab Al Siq

As the main entrance to Petra, Bab al Siq is a sprawling area with a thriving marketplace. Giant monuments dedicated to the family of “Abomanchos” are present along with a large area that was once a banquet hall. This once bustling metropolis thrived as the gateway to the trade route that dispersed exotic spices and fragrances throughout the world.

As you wander the market, browsing the displays of homemade goods, you are handed a curious bar of soap who’s sweet smell is familiar, very indicative of the region. This must be a clue. To earn your first tile, you must provide the soap’s secret password to the merchant.
