The ancient city of Petra is one of Jordan's most significant national treasures and a renowned tourist attraction. It was built by the industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan over 2,000 years ago.
Petra is a marvel of the world, recognized on UNESCO's World Heritage List and listed as one of the seven new wonders of the world. The site gained unparalleled distinction due to its cultural significance, impressive architecture, and ingenious complex system of dams and aqueducts.
Throughout its history, Petra was inhabited by the Edomites and Romans, serving as a hub of knowledge and a testament to the ingenuity of its inhabitants.
It was also a key stop for caravans carrying incense, silk, spices, and other goods. Petra has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
