Petra - The Treasury Live cam

Discover the mesmerizing allure of The Treasury, where ancient artistry meets timeless wonder through our Petra webcam!

Petra, specifically the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), is one of the most iconic and well-preserved archaeological sites in the world. Located in the Ma'an Governorate of Jordan, it is known for its elaborate facade carved directly into the sandstone cliff. It is approximately 128 feet high and 82 feet wide. Despite its name, the Treasury was not a depository of wealth. It is believed to have been a royal tomb or a temple. Legends suggest it was named "Treasury" because local Bedouins thought it contained hidden treasure. The facade is a stunning example of Hellenistic architecture, featuring a mix of Greek, Roman, and Nabataean elements. Its intricate carvings include figures of deities, mythical creatures, and floral patterns.
