One of the new Seven Wonders of the World, Petra represents a central convergence of the old trading roads between the Arabian Peninsula, Levant, China and Europe. Visitors will be astounded by the sight of the Treasury, which represents the masterpiece of the ancient city. Renowned for its charm and ancient cultural heritage, Petra marks the achievement of an impressive civilization, the Nabataean Arabs, who perfectly carved the city into its mountains.
This is Deluxe Egypt Gay Cruise & Tour Add-On Trip!
Petra is a famous archaeological site in Jordan's southwestern desert. Dating to around 300 B.C., it was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom. Accessed via a narrow canyon called Al Siq, it contains tombs and temples carved into pink sandstone cliffs, earning its nickname, the "Rose City." Perhaps its most famous structure is 45m-high Al Khazneh, a temple with an ornate, Greek-style facade, and known as The Treasury.
