Highlights
The road to Petra led through rugged landscapes, with golden sands stretching far and wide and majestic mountains standing tall on the horizon. Along the way, the air was filled with laughter and chatter as strangers quickly became friends, bonded by the anticipation of what lay ahead. As they approached the ancient city of Petra, the excitement in the air was palpable. Hidden within the rose-red cliffs, Petra slowly unveiled its wonders, revealing the grandeur of a lost civilization. The first glimpse of the magnificent Treasury, carved intricately into the rock face, left everyone in awe, marveling at the ingenuity of the Nabateans who built this masterpiece centuries ago. The group eagerly explored the Siq, a narrow gorge flanked by towering cliffs that guided them deeper into the heart of Petra. With each turn, new wonders emerged: the enchanting facades of the Royal Tombs, the colossal Monastery perched high on a cliff, and the mystical Petra Theater carved into the rock.

It is not known precisely when Petra was built, but the city began to prosper as the capital of the Nabataean Empire in the 1st century BC, which grew rich through trade in frankincense, myrrh, and spices. Petra was later annexed to the Roman Empire and continued to thrive until a large earthquake in 363 AD destroyed much of the city in the 4th century AD.
