Amazing views of Petra Treasure 🇯🇴

Petra treasure, also known as Al-Khazneh, is a stunning example of ancient architecture and art. It is a rock-cut facade that was built by the Nabataeans, a nomadic Arab people who ruled over the region in the 1st century AD. Petra treasure was not actually a treasury, but a mausoleum for the Nabataean king Aretas IV. It was named so by the local Bedouins who believed that the urn on the top of the entrance contained hidden riches. Petra treasure is decorated with elaborate sculptures and carvings that reflect the cultural and religious influences of the Nabataeans. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Jordan and the Middle East, and has been featured in many movies and books. #cherryblossom2024
