Located in southern Jordan, this ancient city is famous for its stunning rock formations created by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago.

The impressive beauty of Petra begins with the entrance through the narrow gorge called "Siq", which is lined with high rock walls and stretches for a kilometer. At the end of the Siq appears Petra's most famous structure, the Al-Khazneh or "Treasure House". This magnificent building with its ornate façade was carved into the rock and once served as the tomb of a Nabataean king.

The city of Petra stretches across a wide valley and is home to a variety of ancient structures, including temples, tombs, theaters and cave dwellings carved into the pink sandstone. The sophisticated architecture and ornate carvings testify to the advanced civilization of the Nabataeans.

Petra was an important trading hub on the ancient trade routes between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. The city prospered thanks to its strategic location and wealth of water sources. Today Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the seven new wonders of the world.

Visiting Petra is not only a journey into the past, but also an opportunity to discover the fascinating culture and history of this ancient civilization. The ruins tell stories of trade, religion and artistry that captivate visitors.

Aside from its historical significance, Petra also offers stunning natural surroundings. The surrounding mountains and valleys offer hiking trails with spectacular views of Jordan's ancient ruins and desert landscape.
