Tomb of Unayshu, Petra Overview
A tomb carved into the mountain Jabal al-Khubtha, the Tomb of Unayshu is a magnificent structure located to the right of the Street of Facades in Petra. It is primarily known for its architecture as there is nothing much inside besides 11 burial niches. This tomb also has a collonaded courtyard. It is a great place for photography as it offers great views of the Nabatean Theatre and other attractions.
It was built in the second half of the 1st century AD in honour of a minister of Queen Shaqilat II, the mother of the last ruler of the Nabatean kingdom. One of Petra’s Royal Tombs with a smooth facade, the Tomb of Unayshu is similar to those found in Saudi Arabia’s Mada’in Saleh. There are rocky stairs that lead up to the tomb, so be careful while climbing.
