This is one of those locations that should have been an easy choice for the directors who chose to film here, as this location’s claim to fame was that it was used in the Indiana Jones movie ‘Indiana Jones & the last crusade’ and subsequently has been used in many Hollywood blockbusters, including Arabian Nights and Transformers: Revenge of the fallen.

About the location (from Wiki):
Al Khazneh is one of the most elaborate buildings in the ancient Jordanian city of Petra. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery, this structure was also carved out of a sandstone rock face. It has classical Greek-influenced architecture, and it is a popular tourist attraction.

It is unknown as to why Al Khazneh was originally built, probably between 100 BC and AD 200.Its Arabic name Treasury derives from one legend that bandits or pirates hid their loot in a stone urn high on the second level. Significant damage from bullets can be seen on the urn. Local lore attributes this to Bedouins, who are said to have shot at the urn in hopes of breaking it open and spilling out the “treasure” within (the decorative urn, however, is solid sandstone). Another is that it functioned as a treasury of the Egyptian Pharaoh of the time of Moses.

Many of the building’s architectural details have eroded away during the two thousand years since it was carved and sculpted from the cliff. Others have been defaced, likely by Muslim vandals after the Islamic Renaissance. The sculptures are those of various mythological figures associated with the afterlife. There are burial chambers on either side of a ramp (not shown in the image to the right) which were excavated in 2003.
