Ed-Deir, Petra

Probably carved in the mid-first century AD, the Ed-Deir (or "The Monastery") is located high in the hills northwest of the Petra city center. Inscriptions suggest that this most iconic monument, just after Khazneh (or "Treasury"), was a cultic place where they celebrated the Nabataean King Obodas II (reigned 30 - 9 B.C.).
