Petra: A City Carved into Time

3 days ago | travelresearchonline.com | Joey DeLoach

Often referred to as the Rose-Red City, Petra stands among the deserts and mountains of Jordan as a legacy frozen in time.

A place of majesty and mystery, Petra holds a place in the coveted New 7 Wonders of the World. Petra was founded in the 4th century BCE by the Nabataeans.
