Completely craved from the sandstone of Petra is the famous Treasury of Petra
|
| The temple is of Hellenistic in nature, with statues of Greek and Nabataens Gods. It was actually a tomb but got its name because Pharoah used this to hide the treasure while pursuing the Israelites.
|
| The treasury itself is 43m high and 30m wide
|
| This is the Winged Victories found on the top level on both sides
|

Don't be fooled by Indiana Jones, there is nothing inside
|
| There are more below the ground, but are off-limits to the travellers
|
| A book stall! Just what you need to find out more about the Treasury
|
| Lots of souvenirs of the Treasury were being sold around the Treasury

| | The exit of the Siq as seen from the Treasury. You can see it is not that wide at all!
|
| What a pose! Just couldn't resist to take the shot!

The good, the bad and the ugly!
