Annotations

Ad-Dajr Monastery at Petra, as it is known since Byzantine times, is  building carved out of rock in the ancient Jordanian city during the reign of Rabbel II (70-103) the Nabatean King. It could have been a Nabatean temple or a grave originally. According Jane Taylor it was a temple dedicated to king Obodoas I (95-86 BC), king deified after his death1. Later it became a Byzantine monastery.
