The Theatre, which is just a short walk from Al-Khazneh, was originally built by the Nabataeans in the first century A.D. It was expanded upon by the Romans in 106 A.D. during their occupation of the region. After the Romans were through, the Theatre could seat over 7,000 spectators. It is quite a fascinating monument with the way it seems to emerge from the rock.
