Snake Monument

This eroded stone pillar capped with a serpentine form appears to keep guard over the periphery of the Ancient City of Petra. It acts as a useful landmark as the main trail from Qasr Al Bint splits just after Snake Monument with one branch leading towards Jebel Haroun and the other towards Sabra.
