The "Great Temple" is a building complex in historic Petra. It was probably built by the Nabataeans at the end of the 1st century AD. The monumental building was probably not used for religious worship, but was built as a representative royal reception hall. The term "Great Temple" is still used, however.

Petra (ancient Greek Πέτρα [ˈpɛtʁa] “rock, rock mass”, Arabic البتراء al-Batrā ’, Nabataean probably Reqmu“ the red ”), a ruin site in present-day Jordan, was the capital of the Nabataean empire in antiquity. Because of its monumental grave temples, the facades of which were carved directly from the rock, it is considered a unique cultural monument. On December 6, 1985, Petra was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
