The Nabataeans carved it from solid rock.

The Treasury is not really a treasury. People believed that a treasure was hidden in the urn at the top of the second level, but the urn is solid sandstone.

This is the best preserved facade as it is very hidden and protected from the sun, the wind, the water.
