At the beginning of Colonnaded street in the center of the Rock city of Petra the remains of a former well can be found. The public fountain was originally shaped as a semicircle and decorated with columns. Unfortunately, the few remaining remains of the wall are very inconspicuous. The juniper tree, which shades the ruins that are still visible and defies the heat and drought, is an impressive 450 years old.
