caption_attribution_description: العربية: الخزنة، إحدى أكثر المعابد القديمة حفظًا في مدينة البتراء النبطيَّة بالأردن. كما هو الحال مع باقي الأبنية في هذه المدينة القديمة، من شاكِلة "الدير"، فإنَّ هذا المبنى منحوتٌ كُليًّا من الحجر الرَّملي. وهو مُشيَّد وِفقَ طِراز العِمارة الإغريقيَّة الكلاسيكيَّة، وهو من بين أكثر المعالم الأُردُنيَّة استقطابًا للسُّوّاح. English: Al-Khazneh is one of the most elaborate temples in the ancient Jordanian city of Petra. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery (Arabic: Ad Deir), this structure was also carved out of a sandstone rock face. It has classical Greek-influenced architecture, and it is a popular tourist attraction. This is a photo of a monument in Jordan identified by the ID MN-01
context_page_description: Jordan is a sovereign Arab state in the Middle East. The capital, Amman, is Jordan's most populous city as well as the country's economic, political and cultural centre.
  Its major tourist attractions include visiting historical sites, like the worldwide famous Petra, the Jordan River, Mount Nebo, Madaba, numerous medieval mosques and churches, and unspoiled natural locations, as well as observing cultural and religious sites and traditions.
  Jordan also offers health tourism, which is focused in the Dead Sea area, education tourism, hiking, snorkeling and scuba diving in Aqaba's coral reefs, pop-culture tourism and shopping tourism in Jordan's cities. More than half of the approximate 4.8 million Arab tourists in 2009, mainly from the GCC, said they plan to spend their holidays in Jordan.
