The best time to take a shot of the Treasury is in the afternoon.
Before noon, there will be a mixed light condition (Sunlight & shadow cast from the opposite mountain).
Later there will be a Uniform Daylight covering the entire scene.
The TREASURY:
What is seen here is only the first & second floors, as the ground floor is buried under tons of mud, sand, and rocks carried by rain floods over the centuries.
The Treasury (Al-Khazna). A huge structure and magnificent architecture are considered the main site attractions at Petra.
Established possibly as early as 312 BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor in a basin among the mountains that form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It is believed that Petra was home to roughly 30,000 people and was abandoned in the year 106 A.D. Site has been a UNESCO World Heritage since 1985.
Petra is best visited from October to April to avoid the heat of the desert.
