Monastery or Al-Deir, 1st century BC, Petra, Ma'an, Jordan. This was probably originally a Nabatean temple, maybe dedicated to King Obodas I and used as a hall for memorial feasts, but was later used as a Byzantine church or monastery. It sits in the mountains above Petra and is 50m high. The man seated in the plaza shows the huge scale of the edifice. Petra was the capital and royal city of the Nabateans, Arabic desert nomads.
