Street of Facades, Petra Overview

The Street of Facades is a row of monumental tombs. It is a long street lined with marvellous tombs with large facades, also known as false faces, hanging down their front. There are several burials on either side, decorated with grindstones. It is believed that some of these tombs were for senior city officials or even princes.

Some of the canyon walls are lined with tombs for ordinary citizens. Most of the facades are damaged up to great extent because of the floods.
