The ancient city of Petra (9 B.C. - 40 A.D.) is a historic city in southern Jordan. It is one of the mysterious ancient cities in the desert of southern Jordan and one of the most famous historical sites in Jordan. On July 8, 2007, he was selected as the New Seven Wonders of the World. The ancient city of Petra is about 260 kilometers away from the capital Amman and is situated in an alpine valley at an altitude of 1000 meters. It's almost entirely carved out of rock. The rocks at Petra's site have a coral-like, ruby-red hue and shine in the sun. It is also called the Old City of Roses. Petra was the capital of the Nabataean (ancient Arab tribes). It flourished in the first century B.C. and was captured by the Roman Empire in 106 A.D. and became a province of the Roman Empire. Therefore, many buildings common in ancient Roman culture can be seen now. Since the 3rd century, Petra began to decline because of the rise of trade in the Red Sea instead of land trade. When it was conquered by the Arab army in the 7th century, it was an abandoned empty city. It was not until 1812 that Swiss travelers were rediscovered. It was awarded World Cultural Heritage in 1985.

    Beautiful place! Probably best to visit during the winter so you could avoid the summer heat!

    There is a reason that it is a wonder of the world. Make sure to give yourself a whole day to see everything though.

    Petra is full of surprises. Make sure you visit The Monastery and the Treasury. Both are amazing!

    The ancient city of Petra is really a place worth visiting. The weather there was very hot. I actually carried six bottles of water alone and brought my partner's water. Fortunately, I usually like to hike there and really challenge it. We walked the whole journey without sitting on their camels. The whole 20 kilometers back and forth, the key is that the temple highest in Tepera is really very physical and needs to be climbed up, only to climb up to see the temple. Warm reminder there are many children holding camels, asking you if you want to do their quotations are false, as long as you sit on it, he will say you buy a little grass for the camel, in fact, it is to ask you to add more money, if you are not bad money, then sit on their camels. I highly recommend everyone to go there and play.

    The treasury is amazing, but there is way more than just that to do. Plan to spend a whole day there. If you’re in good shape, try walking up the mountains to the monetary as well.#petra #visitpetra #awesomepic #mytripvlog
