Wadi Dana, Petra

Wadi Dana is a large natural canyon and host to the Dana Biosphere Reserve.

The canyon was formed on a layer of soft sandstone that was eroded by a stream between 590 and 408 million years ago. It is now a dry riverbed 10 mi (16km) long with a rocky desert landscape.

The white and red sandstone formation is beautifully contrasted with green vegetation and bright flowers.
