  This church is one of the complex comprising the Petra Church, the Blue Church and the Ridge Church. The Ridge Church (on top of Jumay’an Hill) is a simple building made up of two wings separated from the nave by five columns on each side. It has a large cistern under the nave that was fed by rain from the roof. This complex of three churches was built over earlier Nabatean buildings and tombs, which remained in the use throughout the Roman period before Christianity became dominant in Petra in the fifth century AD, at which time some buildings and tombs were converted to churches. The views from the Ridge Church over the center of Petra and beyond are among the best in Petra. It takes a moderate but well worth hike to reach the top.
