The Treasury (Al Khazneh in Arabic) is the best known monument of ancient city of Petra, Jordan. It dates from the 1st century AD. It is one of the most elaborate temples in the ancient Arab Nabatean Kingdom city of Petra. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery (Arabic: Ad Deir), this structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face. It has classical Greek-influenced architecture, and is a popular tourist attraction.
