Petra

A horse and rider passes the Obelisk Tomb and Bab as-Siq Triclinium. Across the road from this structure, look for a bilingual inscription in Nabatean and Greek; it states that one Abdmank chose this spot to build a tomb for himself and his children. It is not known if this refers to the monuments opposite.
