The remnants of the arch representing the city gate can be seen at the beginning of the Siq, which is located on the side of the canals to drag water from the eyes of Wadi Musa outside to the city inside. Side dams, erected at the place of the original Nabatean dams, can also be seen to prevent, seize and benefit from the flow of water into the Siq.

Palace of the Girl
It is also called the "Pharaoh's Mansion", the Temple of Nabatean from the first century BC.
