Treasury (al-Khazneh)

The Treasury, or al-Khazneh, is a towering ancient tomb that stands at 131 feet (40 meters) tall in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. First approached through the deep, narrow gorge known as the Siq, this dramatic and iconic monument has retained its imposing presence since Nabatean times. Carved into the sandstone cliffs, the Treasury’s intricate facade and ornate details invite visitors to marvel at the craftsmanship and history embedded in its walls. Today, travelers can explore the site, experiencing the same awe-inspiring sight that has captivated people for centuries.
