  • Qasr el bin is in the middle of the valley. It seems to be a huge temple. It's on the way to the Monastery. It's completely ruined and closed for the public to go inside. Can be seen from the outside.
  • Qasr al-Bint is an architectural marvel that has stood the test of time in Petra, Jordan. The ancient temple, which dates back to the 1st century AD, is an awe-inspiring sight with its towering walls and intricate carvings. Despite enduring centuries of weathering, earthquakes, and erosion, Qasr al-Bint still stands as a testament to the ingenuity and skill of its builders. The beauty and grandeur of this building continue to captivate visitors from around the world, who marvel at its well-preserved columns, arches, and statues. Its unique blend of Greek and Eastern architectural styles is truly a sight to behold, and a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Petra.
