We opted to hike back to The Monastery which left no time to closely inspect The Royal Tombs on our way out of Petra. The Royal Tombs are visible from Petra's valley-floor pathway, and do make for a lovely photo-op, even from a distance. The close grouping of The Royal Tombs & their intricately carved facades are a beautiful site to behold. Inspect more closely if time-constraints prevent you from exploring the Petra Valley any further.

To arrive at Sextius Florentinus Tomb we surrounded the Royal Tombs Hill, when we walk few hundred yards. The inscription on the tomb entrance shows that Sextus Florentinus was the Roman Governor of the province. The interesting part is that we can number the graves inside the tomb - 5 on the back wall, and 3 on the right side wall.

The Nabateans built this major colonnaded complex in the 1st century BC. It stood 60 ft (18 m) high in its glory days before it was badly damaged by an earthquake. It likely had a multitude of uses although there is little agreement on what that was. Magnificent ruins! The best overall view is from the opposite hill, near the Temple of the Winged Lions.

6. The Colonnaded Street

Most of our group turned around after getting to the Treasury, but there is so much more to see. The Colonnaded Street represents an original Nabataean creation later refurbished during the period of Roman occupation. It would have been on of the principal shopping streets of ancient Petra.
