Al-Khazneh, the Treasury


Al-Khazneh, the Treasury

Like many of the places in Petra, this place was misnamed. It is just another tomb, but early explorers thought there was loot inside it. It is remarkable well-preserved because it is hidden in a narrow canyon away from the sand and wind. It is the most famous of the facades at Petra.
