Petra is a famous city carved out of stone, hidden by towering sandstone mountains in Jordan.

Lying in the center of an ancient caravan trade routes, Petra benefited from the resulting commerce. Caravans pass through Petra for Giza in the south, Bosra and Damascus in the north, Aqaba on the Red Sea, and eastward to the Persian Gulf.
Petra was inscribed as a World Heritage Site during the 9th session of the World Heritage Committee which met in the Headquarters in Paris, on 2-6 December, 1985.
