Petra
Petra is one of the most amazing places on Earth, perhaps due to the mystique of the Indiana Jones films or the fascinating history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the seven new wonders of the world, this ancient city in Jordan from 312 BC is carved out of a sandstone rock face.
Petra’s caves, temples, and tombs provide evidence of a powerful civilisation. A honeycomb of manually carved caves, temples, and tombs made of blushing pink sandstone may be found in Jordan’s high desert and is known as the “Rose City.” Petra talks of a lost civilization that has been hidden by time and shifting sand.
