Petra, the ancient capital of the Nabataean people, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was recently declared one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This Coptic Nabatean city, located between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, which has been inhabited since prehistoric times, is an important crossroads between the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt and Syria. These enchanting ruins carved into the rock, surrounded by mountains full of hidden passages, blend ancient oriental traditions with Hellenistic architecture. It is indeed a magical location that you cannot miss visiting in Jordan.
