The Ancient city Petra- Amman


Where the Nabataeans lived- One of the new 7th wonders.Petra lies about 3-5 hours from south of Amman, about 2 hours north of Aqaba, on the edges of the desert of the Wadi Araba. The city is surrounded by towering hills of rust-coloured sandstone which gave the city natural protection against invaders. This is the Siq, the entrance to Petra.
