About Petra
Petra is the rose-red Nabataean city carved into the sandstone cliffs of southern Jordan, reached through a narrow gorge called the Siq.
Petra was the capital of the Nabataeans, Arab traders who grew rich on incense and spice caravans and carved tombs, temples and houses into the sandstone cliffs more than two thousand years ago. Visitors enter through the Siq, a narrow winding gorge more than a kilometre long, and emerge facing the Treasury, a rose-coloured facade of columns and statues cut straight into the rock. The city is a World Heritage Site and was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
Top-ranked sights in Petra: Shobak Castle (Krak de Montréal), Little Petra (Siq al-Barid), Treasury (al-Khazneh).
