This is a long trail that offers a beautiful hike just outside the Siq. It's advisable to undertake this journey along the path during the early morning hours, preferably before the sun rises. The trail takes you west after passing the Obelisk Tomb and before reaching the entrance of the Siq; it crosses an ancient bridge that the Nabataeans built to cross the Wadi. It follows an ancient staircase that is about 3 meters wide, which leads up to the top of Al Madras, where you will find an oil press, a water cistern, and several sacred relics, including a high place, rock-cut niches, and a triclinium. During rainy days, this trail is closed to avoid crossing the Wadi, which is subject to sudden flooding in front of the Obelisk Tomb, posing a risk to the safety of visitors.

When you leave Al Madras towards the high place of sacrifice, you will cross Wadi al-Qantarah, and along the way, you will see many wild trees and shrubs, such as the Phoenician Juniper, white weeping broom (Retama raetam), oleander, and sea squill, and you will also enjoy the beautiful sandstone rock formations around you.

Then, when you reach the summit of the high place, you will be amazed by the sight of the city center of Petra below you and the high sandstone mountains around you, as the high place overlooks these spectacular sweeping views. This open-air high place, where sacrificial rituals were performed, consists of a rectangular courtyard with three benches, a central low table, and an altar to the west. Along the path that descends from the high place into Wadi Farasa, you will enjoy seeing many rock-cut monuments, such as the lion fountain, the garden hall, the Roman soldier tomb and triclinium, and the Renaissance tomb. This route served as a pilgrimage route to the High Place of Sacrifice during the Nabataean period.

The final stop on this trail will be the Nabataean mansion in al-Zantur. This site represents the remains of an opulent Nabataean private residence constructed in the early 1st century AD, with one of its rooms decorated with beautiful wall paintings. And finally, don't forget to bring enough water and some light sandwiches, as the journey along this route will be long. Also, make sure to wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions, comfortable shoes, and a hat.
