Image description: Whole artwork view. The High Place of Sacrifice (al-Madhbah in Arabic) is one of the highest points in Petra and it opens on a breath-taking panorama; a wide platform served as the venue for religious ceremonies, oriented towards an altar, set up on four steps, with a basin to one side and a socket into which may have slotted a stone representation of the god; within the courtyard is a small dais, on which probably stood a table for the offerings.
