Petra meaning stone; Petra is the world wonder, is a historical, archaeological and greatest
tourist city in Jordan. It is a
vast, unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an
industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2000 years ago, turning it

linked China, India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome. Petra is regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
