What kind of stone is Al-Khazneh (aka the Treasury) carved out of?
A Sandstone
B Limestone
C Onyx
The caves, temples, and tombs carved from pink sandstone in this once-thriving center of trade earned Petra the nickname ‘the Rose City.’ Al-Khazneh, featured in our image, is an ancient temple built around 2,000 years ago, thought to have been the final resting place of Aretas IV, king of the Nabataean people.
The correct answer is Sandstone.
