Palace Tomb
Historical landmark
👍👍 The Palace Tomb is for me one of the most impressive "buildings" in Petra. Especially, because nobody knows what it's been used for. It's just mysterious. No signs of graves or burials have been discovered.

Corinthian tomb image

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.

Hope to see you...
