The Treasury (Al-Khazneh) in Petra, Wadi Musa, 🇯🇴 The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Walking 🥭 4K Tour

Al-Khazneh (Arabic: الخزنة; "The Treasury"), A.K.A. Khazneh el-Far'oun (treasury of the pharaoh), is one of the most elaborate rock-cut tombs in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom inhabited by the Arabs in ancient times. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery (Arabic: Ad Deir), this structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face.
It is thought that Al-Khazneh was built as a mausoleum and crypt at the beginning of the 1st century AD during the reign of Aretas IV Philopatris.
It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in both Jordan and the region.
