Petra, the ancient city carved into rose-colored cliffs in southern Jordan, is a mesmerizing UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Known as the "Rose City" due to the color of the stone from which it is carved, Petra is a testament to the ingenuity and architectural prowess of its Nabatean inhabitants. Visitors to Petra are greeted by the iconic Treasury, a breathtaking temple facade carved into the rock face. Beyond the Treasury lies a labyrinth of tombs, temples, and ancient dwellings, all intricately carved into the sandstone cliffs. Among the must-see sights are the Royal Tombs, the Roman Theater, and the Monastery, reached by a scenic hike through the rugged landscape.
