Petra Theatre originally built in Hellenistic style, but when the Romans took over Petra in 106 AD, they did some remodeling. Perhaps as a building, it isn’t impressive as one would imagine a theatre to be, but the entire venue was carved out of the mountainside. That makes it pretty nifty, wouldn’t you agree?

I'd say "nifty ++" :-)

I definitely agree that this is an impressive site, one I have long wanted to see. V

yes an impressive theatre that must have needed years of work to sculpt out of the bedrock...the Greek theatre in Syracusa, Sicily, was fashioned in the same way..
