Original Toronto Star caption: The treasury; a huge cave with a magnificently impressive facade carved by the Romans; is the first building you encounter when you ride into the rose-red city of Petra in Jordan. the monumental proportions cam be gleaned from the comparative size of the man on horseback at the entrance. A government rest house offers rooms at $15; including meals eaten in the cave that was once a customs house.
