Al-Khazneh is one of the most elaborate temples in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom inhabited by the Arabs in ancient times. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery (Arabic: Ad Deir), this structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face.

The walk from Al-Khazneh (Treasury) to the center of Petra leads first through the narrow Outer Siq. Where the gorge widens, high tomb facades carved out of the rock on the left side stand next to each other like a row of mansions, for which this part is dubbed Street of Facades.
