The Nabateans gained wealth by dominating the trade routes of ancient Arabia, but came under Roman rule in 106 AD.

Its name comes from the Bedouin belief that the Pharaoh hid his treasure in the urn at the top of the Kazneh. The monument consists of a massive façade, 30 meters wide and 43 meters high
