Farther along, the triple-arched Temenos Gate was once thought to have been constructed to herald a visiting emperor who never arrived. Recent excavations reveal that it was actually the front gate of the Qasr Bint Faraun (Palace of the Pharaoh’s Daughter), a Nabatean temple built to honor the god Dushara. On your left as you pass through the triple-arched gate is the Nabatean Temple. On the trail leading off behind the temple to the left, a single standing column gloats beside its two fallen comrades—the Zib Faraun (Pharaoh’s Penis, perhaps Ramses’) marks the entrance to the ancient Roman city. (The priggish Arabic sign actually reads “Amoud Faraun,” Pharaoh’s Pillar.) To the right of the Nabatean temple, a rock-hewn staircase leads to a small archeological museum, which holds the spoils of the Winged Lions dig and carved stone figures from elsewhere in Petra.
