Rock Facades

5
(1)
The Rock Facades of Little Petra are carved sandstone fronts that mark entrances to chambers and dwellings. These facades demonstrate the Nabataeans’ ability to shape natural rock into functional and decorative architectural elements. Although simpler than the monumental facades of Petra, these rock fronts still reflect careful planning and craftsmanship. They provide visual identity to different spaces within the settlement. For travelers, the Rock Facades offer insight into Nabataean design choices and stone-carving traditions.
