Al-Deir (The Monastery)
Petra, Jordan
Al-Deir, or The Monastery, towers over Petra with a facade carved directly into the sandstone cliff, measuring 45 meters wide and towering about 50 meters high. Reaching it involves a trek up 800 steps, but the reward is the awe-inspiring craftsmanship of the Nabateans.
