Petra, Jordan

Petra, the ancient city in southern Jordan, is also known as the “rose city” for its golden hue. It dates as far back as 312 BCE. Set in a remote valley, this city was founded by the Arab Nabataeans, a sophisticated civilization that carved stunning architecture and complex waterways out of surrounding rock faces. The Nabateans also established Petra as a successful trade hub, earning vast wealth and a booming population before being wiped out by earthquakes.[1]
