Cool I have always wanted to know what it looked like inside ..thanks for this footage.
Recently saw this shown on "an idiot abroad" where he had to stay in one on the caves that surround it .

@presa1200 yeah, agree with markeceves here, and btw people back then were real geniuses :D some things from back then will never reveal to us :)

It's actually the Treasury. The outside of it was used for Indiana Jones, but a new and different inside was constructed for the movie. It looks nothing like the real inside of the building.

Did you have too kneel before you entered by any chance :)

I don't think that's a temple ... it's the Treasury building

i went to petra last summer and i saw that they closed the temple entrance

LOL, too bad, it would sure make the adventure complete I'm sure. So what's actually inside the temple? I've been told it was a 5th C monastery..
Why doesn't it look anything like in the "Last Crusade?" LOL, Is this the actual temple they show on the outside in the movie?

Yes it's the actual temple. Pretty awesome to see it in person, sadly there was no immortal knight inside!

The rock is not too hard...its sandstone...easy to shape

It should still be opened to visitors.I don't think things have changed so much in a few months.When I was there new kinda rooms had been found recently beneath the entrance.Anyway,it's truly impressive.

When i went in 2006, they would not let people in the rooms. It was guarded and blocked. Wish i could have gone in.
