Temple Treasury Petra Facts photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow The name Al-Khazneh, which in Arabic means 'treasury',comes from the legend that it was
used as a hiding place for treasure.
The tomb/temple got its popular name from the Bedouin belief that pirates hid ancient
pharoanic treasures in the tholos which stands in the center of the second level.
