As ancient nomadic tribes living in this region, the Nabateans demonstrated their extraordinary architectural genius by building an entire city and this magnificent sacred temple.
This building, constructed against the mountain, can be said to be exquisitely delicate. The architecture itself belongs to the Greek style. From the outside, it seems to be divided into two levels, rising to a height of 40 meters, with the lower level featuring six huge Corinthian columns, and the main entrance alone is 8 meters high.
The stone columns on the upper and lower levels of the building facade were originally carved with all sorts of idols, but almost all were destroyed during the religious transformation at the end of the Roman period, considered idols of heathen believers.
Even today, at both sides of the building's main entrance, the destroyers from that year left steps used for footing, and at the earliest times, many people thought those steps were left by the builders.
