At the beginning of the narrow gorge of the Outer Siq, a heavily weathered staircase (closed to visitors) leads up to Petra's largest triclinium. Because of the unusual dimensions of the rock-cut hall (approx. 12 x 12 m), it is assumed that it might have been assigned to the Al-Khazneh for representative ceremonies in honour of the deceased, but there is no evidence of this.
On the rock face left of the hall entrance you can see the course of the water channel with remains of terracotta pipes.
