Qasr al-Bint is Petra's best-preserved freestanding temple, standing near the Colonnaded Street at the city's sacred heart. Dedicated to the Nabataean cult of Dushara, it was the stage for feasts and processions central to ancient Jordanian life.
The structure still reaches two storeys, an engineering feat for its age. It is a short, flat walk from the site entrance. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan reach it easily, and full package tours to Jordan include Qasr al-Bint with the Temple of the Winged Lions.
