11 Three Tomb Types Along Street of Façades in Petra, Jordan

Here are three more designs of Nabataean stone-cut tombs. From left to right they are Step, Arch and Single Pylon. These tend to be the smallest of the tombs found in the ancient city. The fourth tomb in the right corner has no distinguishing marks. Most of the burial monuments at Petra were probably built between 50 BC and 129 AD. This roughly correlates to the height of the Nabataean Kingdom.
