Pétra, Jordan. The Nabataean City of the Dead
Description
Inhabited since prehistoric times, this Nabataean caravan city was an important crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia. Pétra—half-built, half-carved into the rock within a ring of mountains and riddled with passages and gorges—is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with Hellenistic architecture.
