The Theatre Necropolis in Petra, Jordan, is a fascinating area where ancient Nabataean tombs and the monumental Petra Theatre converge. The theatre itself, carved into the rock in the early 1st century AD during the reign of King Aretas IV, is a testament to Nabataean engineering, with a semicircular auditorium that once seated around 8,000 spectators. Adjacent to it lies the necropolis, featuring simpler tomb facades compared to the elaborate Street of Facades, some of which were partially destroyed when the Romans expanded the theatre after annexing the Nabataean Kingdom in 106 AD.
