Petra Tour: Ad Deir (Monastery)
The monumental rock façade in a magnificent mountain landscape is one of Petra's highlights. On the plateau there are further rock structures worth seeing, such as chambers, cult niches, sacrificial places, cisterns.

The façade carved out of the rock is 47 m wide and 48 m high. On the rock walls to the right and left you can see how much of the mountain had to be removed.
On the right side of the courtyard in front of the façade used to be a colonnade.
