It is cool in the siq. You know that after more than a kilometre you suddenly will see the El Kahzan, the Tresury. Still it is shock if you see that enormous façade cut out of stone, 2300 years ago. And still in an excellent shape. The façade is the primary ornament. Behind it is a huge, empty hall and some side rooms. The building is guarded by Bedouin warriers. This is really one of the most amazing man-built structures of the ancient world.
