There is nothing inside that building, Nayaz?? That's really wild! The fact they would spend all that time carving that incredibly beautiful façade for a storage area really tells you something about the culture.

Me too, John K, never been but really want to go!

Hi John,

If you are referring to the " Khazanah", there is really nothing inside. It was meant to be a storage area. However, the exquisite carving and the hue of the rose red sandstone is still vivid and visible in many areas. That's the real beauty of this place!

The fact that over 20000 Nabateans lived here is simply amazing!

Bloomberg News reports that Jordan tourism is up 24% and revenues are up 28% for the first half of 2010 compared with the first half of 2009. I know that Lebanon's tourism was up about 30% for 2009, so if Jordan's was, too, then the current jump is even more impressive. Is it too late to invest in hotels in these countries? :-)

How-dee Jordan lovers! Never been myself but everytime I see a picture of Petra I think that must be one of the world's most intriguing places. Definitely want to go!! But here's my question:

WHAT'S INSIDE THAT BUILDING???

We always see pictures of the outside, has anybody actually seen the inside? I mean is it a church? A museum? Is there a Starbucks in there??? Anything worth a picture in there? Inquiring minds want to know!

Hi, has anyone stayed recently in the Jebel Rum Camp?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
