It came to be called "Al-Khazneh" in the early 19th century by the area's Bedouins, as they believed it contained treasures. One legend is that the Egyptian Pharaoh and some of his armies escaped the closing of the Red Sea, created the Khazneh by magic as a safe place for his treasury, and continued in his pursuit of Moses.
