Petra World Heritage Site

The city of Petra, which is the capital of the ancient Nabataean people, is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and was recently announced as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This Nabataean Coptic city, which lies between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, and which has been inhabited since prehistoric times, is an important crossroads between the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt and Syria. These enchanting rock-cut ruins, surrounded by mountains full of hidden passages, blend ancient Eastern traditions with Hellenistic architecture. It is truly a magical site that you cannot miss in Jordan.
