'Siq al-Barid' (Cold Gorge), also known as 'Little Petra', is located approximately 6 km north of ancient Petra. The buildings, carved into rocks, were probably built at the height of the Nabataean Empire in the 1st century. AD The gorge is approximately 350 m long and consists of three “open” areas where the buildings are located.
'Little Petra' was probably a suburb of the Nabataean capital and a base for trade on the Silk Road. After the Nabataean Empire fell, the place was used by nomads for many centuries and only in the late 20th century. rediscovered and excavated.

Little Petra is really worth the visit. You can take a free shuttle from Petra main entrance (in the bus area) to go there. From there you can also take the trail heading to the monastry.
