Petra Treasury (Al-Khazneh): facade light in December 2026
Short answer: On 15 December 2026: The Treasury facade gets no direct sun on this date above the cliffs in front of it; it stays in soft shade all day. Every day of December is in the table.
The Treasury is carved into a cliff facing the end of the Siq, with another cliff close in front of it. The sun only reaches the facade once it has climbed over that cliff, so direct light comes in a short window in the late morning.
