The High Place of Sacrifice

Once at the summit, all the traces of the Hellenistic-Roman city are left behind as we enter into the world of the Nabataean rituals.



At 1,035 m (3000 feet)



Sacrificial Altar
This basin is where sacrifices were carried out



The Nabataean continued this form of worship while adopting the Greek and Roman religions in the temples below











The climb to the top. Very scary.
