The Dam, Petra Overview
The dam stands at the entrance to the Siq. The Nabataeans constructed it to protect Petra from flash floods. They did so by redirecting flood waters into a tunnel which later came to be called the Dark Tunnel.
It was renovated by the government in 1963 and then again in 1991, staying true to the original architecture of the Nabataeans both times.
