GRATIS GIDS

Located in Wadi Farasa, adjacent to the Tomb of the Roman Soldier, the Garden Temple’s function is as yet uncertain. The term may be misleading, since there are no burial niches. It appears more probable that it may have been part of the Nabataean water system, as to the right of the structure, there is an immense retaining wall of that creates a natural water reservoir. The Garden Temple may have been used to supply the use of water for its rituals, or simply to supply water to Wadi Farasa.
