Al Khubtha High Place and Cistern

Al Khubtha High Place and Cistern

Al Khubtha is one of the main Nabataean suburbs of Petra. A newly restored stairway leads up to the site, providing an easy access to the top of the monument. On the way up, you will find a niche that is dedicated by Wahballah to the goddess Al Uzza and the Lord of the Temple. At least three high places were carved or built at the top of this mountain range. Several idol niches, cisterns and a large water reservoir are spread out on the flat top of the plateau.   The main high place of Al Khubtha overlooks the west side of Petra with a view of the theater and the main city center of Petra.
