This was the first glimpse of the treasury at Petra. Petra was found in 106 A,.D. and this city carved in the mountains with only one way in and out by the Nabataeans and is one of the 7 modern wonders of the modern world. Definitely the most beautiufl place that I have ever seen. The beautifully carved palaces and the homes carved out of stone surpasses anything my eyes have ever experienced. Later the Romans held it for a time as well as the Byzantine empires. and briefly the crusaders. The color of the stone rages for purples, orages , pinks and many more. The lighting is gorgeous in the late afternoon as it hits this awesome place. It is a place that is very difficult to describe but a must if ever you have the opportunity. I will post a full image of the tresury at a later date. I had the great experience of riding in by horse part of the way. Hope you enjoy.
