At the entrance into Petra is an Indiana Jones shop... what else?!

The carvings into the cliffs extend for a mile.

Petra was carved by the Nabataeans with clear influences from Greek architects. Although this building is called the "treasury", it was actually a tomb.

There are many more hill-carved tombs than the one made famous by Indiana Jones.
