The Silk Tomb, second of the Royal Tombs, has the wildest colouring in Petra — bands of crimson, ochre and blue-grey swirl through the sandstone like woven fabric, especially vivid in direct sun.
It is right beside the Urn Tomb on the same terrace. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan linger here for photos, and full package tours to Jordan include it in the Royal Tombs loop.
