Royal Tombs, Petra Overview
The Royal Tombs is a series of large mausoleums with majestic facades that overlook the city centre and main walkway of Petra. These are situated on the western slope of Al-Khubtha mountain. These were constructed by the Nabateans from the rose-red sandstone over 2,300 years ago.
There are four individual tombs, which are collectively known as the Royal Tombs of Petra, namely - the Urn Tomb, the Palace Tomb, the Silk Tomb, and the Corinthian Tomb. Unfortunately, due to a lack of archaeological proof, it is impossible to determine them to be related to specific Nabataean rulers. However, the size of these landmarks and their elegantly decorated facades suggest that they were constructed for wealthy & notable people in a royal context.
