Petra is the legacy of the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago.
Admired for its sophisticated culture, massive architecture and ingenious complex of dams and water channels, Petra is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.
Inhabited by the Nabateans, Edomites and Romans, Petra brought together the knowledge and skill of these civilisations to create this world wonder, and where caravans once laden with incense, silks, spices and other exotic goods rested.
