Al-Khazneh (The Treasury), Petra, Jordan
The moment you walk out of the Siq and see The Treasury is the whole reason to come to Jordan. Forty meters of carved sandstone facade, built as a royal tomb around the first century BC, intact after two thousand years. The bullet holes in the upper urn are from Bedouin sharpshooters who were convinced a pharaoh hid treasure inside. © Vyacheslav Argenberg, CC BY 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons
