Historical Temple
03/2023 The Treasury of Petra, also known as Al-Khazneh, is a breathtaking masterpiece of ancient architecture carved directly into the red sandstone cliffs of Jordan. With its impressive façade and mystical history, it captivates adventurers from all over the world. It looks particularly magical in the morning and evening light, when the sun makes the ornate details glow in warm gold. The path there, through the narrow Siq gorge, increases the excitement and makes the first glimpse of the Treasury unforgettable. An absolute must-see for anyone who wants to experience the magic of past civilizations up close! I took the photo from a vantage point that requires you to hand over a few dollars to enterprising Arabs.
