At least partially due to being featured in movies, television shows, music videos and video games, the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) at Petra Archaeological Park is one of the most visited sites in the country of Jordan. Elaborately carved out of sandstone rock, the structure is believed to have been first referred to as a "Treasury" by locals who thought there was hidden treasure inside. It was actually originally built as a mausoleum for a Nabatean King.

Just like in the movies and on television, that first glimpse of Petra's Treasury is not soon forgotten. It's hard to imagine how the detailed carving on such a large structure was done over 2000 years ago!
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. - Jawaharial Nehru
