Album Info:
Al-Khazneh (Treasury) - This is an awe-inspiring experience. A massive facade, 30m wide and 43m high, carved out of the sheer, dusky pink, rock-face and dwarfing everything around it. It was carved in the early 1st century as the tomb of an important Nabataean king and represents the engineering genius of these ancient people.

So amazing Yair! Wow. And to think it was carved so many centuries ago and yet still stands, is still beautiful today. Thankyou for sharing this photo and the entire album!

Very nice photo! The colors are magnificent! But I'd like to place one remark to your comments. The full name of the temple is "Kaznet Firaoun" or "Treasury of the Pharaohs". Remarkable remains of former wealth and culture!
