Itinerary description

This is short part of hike how to get to most beautiful viewpoint in Petra, upper view on Treasury. Many beduin children will try to get money from you trying to guide you to so called "Indiana Jones" viewpoint. This is not the same viewpoint, but view is practically the same, just from another side. This GPS trail is showing the way from Treasury to upper viewpoint. Since main path is leading only to treasury, I assumed there is no use to add part of path through Siq.

BE AWARE OF SUN!
...
Ovo je kratki dio uspona prema jednom od najljepših vidikovaca u Petri, gornjem pogledu prema Riznici. Brojni beduini i njihovi klinci nudit će vam vođenje do "Indiana Jones pogleda". Ovo je gotovo identičan pogled, samo s druge stijene. Uz to, možete jednostavno i sigurno doći do tamo besplatno. U ovom GPS-u prikazan je dio od donjeg dijela riznice do vrha. Smatram da nije potrebno davati upute kako doć do Riznice.

PAZITE NA SUNCE!
