Petra
Established as early as 312 BC, Petra was the capital city of the Nabataeans. This large site, hidden deep within the mountains, was unknown to most of the world until 1812. The city is known for its large façades carved into the cliffs and mountains, including the Treasury, its signature monument. We spent a full day exploring Petra, Jordan's most popular attraction.
