Right at the far end of Petra, high up the mountainside is The Monastery or Al Dier. To reach it takes a long hike up a rocky gorge.
On the way you pass by the Lion Tomb.
The long walk is worth it when you reach the Monastery which in some ways is more impressive (and probably bigger) than the Treasury. It's location also means you find very few other people there.
This is Karl Pilkington's take on the Monastery. Viewed from the 'hole' that I took some of my photos from.
