The khazneh- Petra


The best-known of the monuments at Petra, the Khazneh is also the first to greet the visitor arriving via the Siq. The facade, carved out from the sandstone cliff wall, is 40m high. The name Khazneh, which means 'treasury', it seems to have been something between a temple and a tomb, possibly both at once.
