Corinthian tomb
Historical landmark
👍👍 This tomb is a little different from others because of the slight Roman touch. It is huge and beautiful. Inside the tomb, the exposed carved rock has bands of amazing colors that make it seem out of this world. It's a little ahead of the Royal tombs but worth the walk.

Nabatean Theatre
Historical landmark
👍👍 Walking a short distance past the Treasury you'll come across the Nabatean Theatre. This massive theatre has been cut into the hillside and is surrounded by nearby sandstone walls littered with ancient tombs. It's worth seeing and it's too far ahead and there's toilets on the way!

Djinn Blocks
Historical landmark
👍 Djinn blocks receive their name due to a Bedouin folkloric belief that certain spirits (“djinn” or genie) inhabit these cubical monuments. The reality is more prosaic, and the blocks are known to have served as tombs or memorials to the dead. Here, you have three (numbers 7, 8 and 9) of the 25 bloc...
