The Obelisk Tomb, on the path before the Siq, is crowned by four pyramidal obelisks in an Egyptian style that hints at the Nabataeans' trading world. A two-bench triclinium below was for ritual feasts.
It is one of the first carved monuments you meet. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan stop here on the walk in, and full package tours to Jordan use it to set the scene.
