Camel Awaiting Riders at al-Khazneh (The Treasury)
When we came out into the light from the siq (remember the Indiana Jones Holy Grail movie?) there was a couple vendors and local men hawking camel rides. The only thing we were interested in was the Treasury. We were awed by the size (note the people in the entrance) and relief details. It was built as a tomb for Nabatean King Aretas in the 1st Century B.C. Just imagine yourself entering this city 2,000 years ago and seeing al-Khazneh!
