The ancient city of Petra is located in present-day Jordan. This archaeological site has been carved into rose-red cliffs, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of the Nabataeans, who established Petra as a prominent trading hub in the 5th century BC. Petra is renowned for its stunning architecture, including the famous Al-Khazneh (The Treasury) and an intricate water conduit system that enhanced its habitation. The city was lost to the western world for centuries, only to be rediscovered in the early 19th century. Petra was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is often referred to as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
