Djinn Blocks Bab-as-Siq, Petra

Djinn Blocks Bab-as-Siq, Petra
Fancifully-named "djinn blocks" (a djinn is an Arabic spirit) are located on the way to the Siq (bab-as-siq, in Arabic). The imposing blocks are well over a person's height, and are thought to be funerary monuments. The middle one has two shaft graves inside. The photo is taken from the west.
