Al-Khazneh (Petra-Jordan) is one of the most ornate temples in Petra, a Nabatean Kingdom city which was inhabited by Nabatean Arabs. This structure was hewn out of a sandstone rock face, like the most of the other structures in this historic town, including the Monastery. The building is thought to have served as mausoleum of King Aretas IV of Nabatea in the first century AD. It is among the top tourist destinations in the country of Jordan and the surrounding area. The local Bedouins, who thought it held treasures, gave it the name Al-Khazneh, or The Treasury, in the early 19th century.
